"The arrangement also includes Jet Airways' flights from Chennai to Toronto that will be operated in code share with Air Canada," said a statement issued by the Indian carrier. "Additionally, passengers will enjoy frequent flyer benefits on the code-shared routes on accrual basis as well as seamless transfers with through check-in and interline e-ticketing," the statement added.
