Air Canada Aeroplan has been very active in adding partner airlines that have reciprocal award redemption options.

Today they added Air Mauritius and Oman Air to their extensive partner list, which includes non-Star Alliance airlines like Air Serbia, Azul, Canadian North, Cathay Pacific, Etihad, Eurowings, GOL, Gulf Air, Virgin Australia, Vistara, and more. Air Canada has added 10 partner airlines since last June and they say that they will be announcing more partner airlines in the coming months.

Oman Air flights are eligible for redemption in First class private suites, Apex Business class suites, and Economy. Air Mauritius flights are eligible for redemption in Business and Economy.

Oman Air and Air Mauritius only fly in the Eastern Hemisphere, but you can combine awards with other airlines.
