Fast, free Wi-Fi for Aeroplan members takes off this month onboard Air Canada’s flights across North America and to-and-from Sun destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean. Sponsored by Bell, the new service means passengers can enjoy streaming video services and gaming on their personal devices.
“Quality connectivity has become indispensable for all travelers. Starting today we’re thrilled to offer complimentary Wi-Fi on North American, Mexican and Caribbean flights for Aeroplan Members, by partnering with Bell,” said Mark Nasr, Executive Vice President & Chief Operations Officer at Air Canada. “This initiative underscores Air Canada’s focus on elevating the customer experience, with leadership in providing streaming quality connectivity, at a pace unmatched by other airlines — at home and around the world. We now offer Wi-Fi on 88 percent of our fleet, with the remaining installations to be completed by early 2026. This will include an industry first with the upcoming launch of Wi-Fi on Air Canada Express Q400s serving Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport.”
“At Bell, we are focused on delivering exceptional experiences that help Canadians stay connected wherever they are,” said Blaik Kirby, Group President, Consumer and Small Business at Bell. “We’ve proudly sponsored inflight Wi-Fi for Aeroplan Members since 2023, starting with free texting. Now, we’re thrilled to help take that experience to the next level – enabling streaming, gaming and more from gate to gate. Whether it is in the air or around the world with our popular roaming plans in over 230 destinations, Bell is helping customers stay connected on their terms.”
Aeroplan Members can now enjoy the convenience of complimentary, streaming-quality Wi-Fi from gate-to-gate on Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge and on Air Canada Express flights operated with CRJ900 aircraft.
Expanding connectivity
Subject to completion of certification, Wi-Fi installations are expected to start on the Air Canada E175 fleet and the De Havilland Q400s serving Billy Bishop Airport later this year, the May 1 press release said.
In 2026, fast, free streaming-quality Wi-Fi for Aeroplan Members will expand to international routes. In the interim, free texting remains available for Aeroplan Members on international flights.
