Qatar Airways adds codeshare on Porter Airlines flights across Canada from 16 November

Qatar Airways has signed a codeshare agreement with Porter Airlines that places its QR code on selected Porter flights within Canada, for travel from 16 November 2026, the Doha-based carrier announced on 9 November.

The agreement lets customers book connecting itineraries beyond Qatar Airways' two Canadian gateways, Toronto and Montréal. Canadian destinations named in the announcement include Edmonton, Halifax, Ottawa, St. John's and Thunder Bay. Bookings can be made through the Qatar Airways website and app.

Qatar Airways already operates daily flights to both Toronto and Montréal, 14 weekly services in total. From those cities, passengers can connect through Hamad International Airport in Doha to a network of more than 170 destinations; the airline cites Delhi, Manila, Dubai and Addis Ababa as examples. The partnership is presented as a way to widen access to that network for travellers in Canadian cities that the Gulf carrier does not serve directly, with Porter's domestic flights feeding its two gateways.

The release introduces the list of Canadian cities with "including", so the full set of codeshare flights is not stated, and it contains no executive comment or mention of regulatory conditions. Travellers should check which Porter flights carry the QR code when booking and confirm connection times and baggage rules for their itinerary with the airline that issues the ticket.
