Air Canada will add its marketing code on nine routes operated by flydubai from Dubai. This will allow travelers to have only one ticket and to make the reservation at one place, for destinations that require several stopovers or different airlines.

The connections will serve the cities of :

Medina
Dammam
Bahrain
Jeddah
Muscat
Colombo
And Karachi

Flydubai flights will depart from Toronto and Vancouver.

All that remains is to obtain final regulatory approvals soon. This announcement follows the increase in service recently announced by Transport Canada between Canada and the United Arab Emirates. Here are our articles on the subject:

At this time, we cannot use or collect Aeroplan points on flydubai wings. However, Air Canada and flydubai are working on it and more details will be known during the year. One can assume that there will be features and privileges on both sides for each of their loyalty programs.

We will update this section when this is known.

Hopefully soon and with a welcome offer like the one currently in effect with the TD^® Aeroplan^® Visa Infinite* Card, you could get flights on flydubai wings to the Maldives or Kathmandu using your Aeroplan points!
