What happened
British Airways and Porter Airlines have signed a codeshare agreement allowing British Airways customers to book 17 Porter destinations in Canada under a BA code. The partnership is effective for travel starting July 8, 2026. The agreement connects Porter's domestic network with BA's international routes via Toronto and Montreal. Key benefits include seamless booking on ba.com and the ability for British Airways Club members to earn Avios and tier points on Porter flights. This expands BA's reach in Canada without a full alliance membership, as Porter is not currently in an alliance. Porter Airlines operates a modern fleet with its 'Elevated Economy' product, featuring two-by-two seating and free Wi-Fi. The partnership aims to provide easier access to Canadian destinations for travelers flying between London and Canada
