01:56 PM EDT, 10/16/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Transport Canada said Friday it is assessing a proposal by Air Canada and United Airlines (UAL) to expand their cross-border joint venture to include additional routes between Canada and the US. The proposed expansion would allow the airlines to coordinate pricing, schedules, marketing and capacity, and share revenue across most of their Canada-US operations. Routes proposed for inclusion include Toronto-Denver, Toronto-Houston, Toronto-San Francisco, Montreal-Chicago and Vancouver-San Francisco, among others. The assessment will consider public interest factors and potential effects on competition. Transport Canada is inviting feedback from Canadians through Nov. 15.
