Jetstar ties up with Air Canada

Jetstar ties up inerline deal with Air Canada

JETSTAR customers will be able to buy a through fare to Canadian cities such as Vancouver and Quebec after the low-cost Qantas offshoot signed its 12th interline deal.

The deal with Air Canada means Jetstar customers will be able to connect to the Canadian carrier’s services through Hawaii using a joint fare on a single booking.

Air Canada, which operates direct flights between Sydney and Vancouver, is also offering a combo deal that allows passengers to combine a stop-over in Honolulu with Jetstar in one direction and fly non-stop in the other.

The Canadian carrier joins existing Jetstar interline partners such as Qantas, Etihad, Air Calin and Royal Jordanian.

Jetstar expects the deal to be financially beneficial and to boost in-bound tourism from Canada.

Jetstar said it would provide seamless booking and ticketing, providing customers and the travel industry with more options to include a Jetstar flight into itineraries.
