Seven airlines working together to bring you more.
Since its inception in 2010 (that’s right, this year marks our 15th anniversary), Air Canada, United Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Lufthansa and SWISS have worked relentlessly to provide the number one transatlantic partnership to you. Customers are at the heart of everything we do, and by collaborating on our network, product, pricing, capacity and technology, we’ve been able to continually evolve to be the best choice for our customers across the Atlantic.
Don’t just take our word for it. Check out this video by Atlantic Joint Venture traveler, Andrew Southey, Global Marketing Director at McDonald’s Corporation.
Our expansive transatlantic network makes it easy to create itineraries from pretty much anywhere in North America (including Mexico, the U.S. and Canada) to pretty much everywhere in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India.
To put this into context, in summer 2025 we operated our biggest transatlantic network yet with over 48 nonstop destinations.* Looking ahead to summer 2026, we're offering nonstop service to 22 European destinations.

Introducing Lufthansa Allegris
Lufthansa’s new onboard product, Allegris, is a travel experience that has been designed with the smallest detail in mind to make your time on board something special. Enjoy an onboard experience of innovative seating concepts, exceptional dining, high-quality materials, and state-of-the-art technology across all travel classes.

And Lufthansa is ramping up to further roll out Allegris to more destinations. Lufthansa’s first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with the all-new Allegris cabin has arrived in Frankfurt and is already in service on flights between Frankfurt and Toronto, and Frankfurt and Austin.
SWISS Senses – a journey for all the senses
A travel experience that will turn long-haul flights into a stylish experience for all the senses. Look forward to many possibilities to shape your travels according to your individual wishes and needs and enjoy Swiss ambience like never before. This November, the first SWISS flight with the new SWISS Senses onboard product launched on the Zurich–Boston route. You can book flights specifically with the new onboard product on the Zurich–Boston route in all four classes for travel from 1 January, 2026, onward.
More SWISS Senses destinations will be announced soon.
United’s nose-to-tail refresh
United recently announced its enhanced cabin interior, a nose-to-tail redesign including a brand-new seat option, United Polaris Studio. New Boeing 787-9 additions to United’s fleet will feature a higher number of total premium seats.
United Polaris Studio suites are 25% larger than standard United Polaris seats and feature privacy doors and room for two people. United Polaris will also be upgraded with the addition of sliding doors and larger 19-inch 4K OLED touchscreens. There will also be upgrades to United Premium Plus and United Economy to make your flying experience even better.
The United Polaris Studio will debut in 2026 on B787-9 flights from San Francisco to London and Singapore.
Air Canada – Airbus A321 XLR
Air Canada has announced a new route, Montréal to Palma de Mallorca, as its first to be operated by its Airbus A321 extra-long range (XLR) aircraft. Delivery of the XLR fleet begins in the first quarter of 2026, and in June 2026, Air Canada will inaugurate a service from Montréal to the Spanish island in the western Mediterranean onboard this new aircraft. Seats are available for sale now at aircanada.com and through travel agents.
A seamless integration of technologies
We’re always working behind the scenes to make sure your customer experience is better and more consistent, regardless of who you book with. Each airline invests heavily in its mobile apps to bring travelers a one-stop shop for almost everything related to air travel: booking, award travel, bag tracking, in-flight entertainment, Wi-Fi, free messaging and more.
One of the best perks is our integrated loyalty program. Frequent flyers who enroll as members can receive benefits on partner airlines. For example, if you’re a member of United MileagePlus® but traveling on Lufthansa, you can still enjoy your status privileges on Lufthansa – and vice versa.
For small or medium-sized businesses looking for great discounts or benefits, all seven airlines have amazing business travel offerings.
