Thanks to the interline agreement signed between Pegasus Airlines and Air Canada, passengers departing from North America will be able to reach Istanbul and Izmir via European connections on a single ticket with integrated travel convenience.
Pegasus Airlines and Canada’s national carrier Air Canada have signed a strategic partnership that will strengthen air connectivity between Türkiye and North America. Under the agreement between the two airlines, passengers will be able to travel to Istanbul and Izmir via major European hubs on a single ticket with integrated travel convenience.
According to the agreement, Air Canada passengers will be able to connect via Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Munich, Geneva, Vienna, Zurich and Athens to Pegasus flights operating to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. In addition, access to Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport will be offered via Frankfurt. Passengers will also benefit from advantages such as a single reservation and through-checked baggage to their final destination.
Onur Dedeköylü, Chief Commercial Officer of Pegasus Airlines, commented on the partnership: “This cooperation we have launched with Air Canada is a strong reflection of Pegasus’ vision to strengthen its international network and connect Türkiye with more global travellers. While making Istanbul and Izmir more accessible for passengers departing from North America, we are offering our guests a flexible and integrated travel experience. In the coming period, we aim to further advance this cooperation through codeshare and loyalty programme integration.”
Mary-Jane Lorette, Vice President, Revenue Management, Alliances and International Relations at Air Canada, also stated: “Air Canada’s strategy is built on connecting people, markets and opportunities worldwide. This partnership with Pegasus expands our reach in Türkiye and offers our customers more options to explore one of the world’s most dynamic regions.”
This strategic cooperation brings together Air Canada’s global connectivity strength with Türkiye’s dynamic aviation market, while also making Pegasus’ Europe-centred network more accessible to passengers departing from North America.
Türkiye’s growing tourism demand, strong domestic network and strategic location make this partnership an important growth step for both parties.
