Air Transat’s new interline and codeshare agreements with Turkish Airlines are now in effect.

This partnership enables travellers to book itineraries combining flights from both airlines, enhancing connectivity between Canada and Türkiye, and key destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Passengers can travel on a single ticket for their entire journey and check in their bags only once, through to their final destination.

The interline agreement offers access to cities such as Tehran, Delhi, Colombo, and Beirut via Turkish Airlines’ global network.

Both carriers will place their airline codes on each other’s services, starting with their respective Toronto – Istanbul flights.

Additional connecting flights will be added in the coming months.

As part of the new cooperation, Air Transat will add a new weekly flight on its year-round Toronto-Istanbul route, every Thursday starting May 28, 2026, bringing the total to three flights per week.

Turkish Airlines marked its 15th anniversary of Toronto operations last year, and also serves the Canadian market from Montreal and Vancouver.
