Emirates and Air Canada have explored new avenues in their partnership, offering frequent flyer members of both airlines the chance to enjoy joint loyalty programme benefits. Under this new, intriguing partnership, Emirates Skywards members can now earn and redeem Miles aboard all flights on Air Canada, which has a global network of over 220 destinations around the world. Similarly, Aeroplan members can enjoy the same benefits on all flights operated by Emirates, gaining access to more than 130 destinations across six continents that Emirates flies to from its home hub in Dubai.
The agreement between the airlines was signed on last Thursday at the Emirates Group Headquarters in Dubai. The signing took place between Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Skywards and Mark Youssef Nasr, Senior Vice President, Product, Marketing, e-Commerce, Air Canada and President, Aeroplan.
Speaking on the partnership, Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Skywards remarked “We’re very pleased to be enhancing our partnership with Air Canada and officially kicking off our joint loyalty programme offering.

We look forward to opening new horizons for our loyal members and to also welcoming Aeroplan customers on-board Emirates with our award-winning products and exceptional services.”
With the plethora of greater travel choices and the prospect of earning more miles, members of both the loyalty programmes have much to gain.
