interCaribbean Airways has announced the launch of an interline agreement with Air Canada, strengthening travel connections between the Caribbean and Canada through key hubs in Barbados and Antigua and Barbuda.
The partnership expands travel options for customers seeking access between the Caribbean region and Air Canada’s extensive North American and international network.
Under the agreement, customers will be able to book connecting flights on a single ticket, enabling travellers to and from the Caribbean region to access Air Canada’s flights to Toronto, Montreal and other destinations, while also benefiting from interCaribbean Airways’ comprehensive Caribbean network. Ticket sales are already underway.
Travel under the agreement will also allow through check-in of customer baggage, with full customer through check-in services expected to launch in the next few weeks.
The partnership is aimed at addressing the needs of Canada’s substantial Caribbean community, concentrated primarily in Toronto and Montreal, by offering enhanced travel options. At the same time, Canadian travellers will gain improved access to explore destinations throughout the Caribbean.
Both airlines said the agreement reflects their commitment to service quality and improved connectivity for customers travelling between the Caribbean and Canada.
