## Air Canada Revolutionizes Air Travel: Fast, Free Wi-Fi Coming in 2025
Get ready for takeoff – Air Canada is poised to redefine the in-flight experience. The airline announced plans to offer fast, free Wi-Fi on all North American flights starting May 2025, a game-changing move set to enhance passenger comfort and connectivity. This ambitious project, made possible through a partnership with Bell, will provide Aeroplan members with seamless streaming-quality Wi-Fi access on Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft across North America and select sun destinations.
A Connectivity Revolution Takes Flight
This isn’t just incremental improvement; it’s a complete overhaul of in-flight connectivity. Air Canada is committed to bringing this enhanced Wi-Fi experience to its long-haul international routes by 2026, ensuring passengers stay connected wherever their journey takes them. The free Wi-Fi will be accessible across the Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, and most Air Canada Express fleets. This builds on the existing free in-flight texting service for Aeroplan members, already available on over 90% of Air Canada’s fleet since May 2023.
More Than Just Wi-Fi: An Enhanced Travel Experience
Beyond the groundbreaking free Wi-Fi, Air Canada remains committed to providing an exceptional premium customer experience. Expect chef-inspired meals, complimentary snacks and beverages, extensive in-flight entertainment options, live TV on IFE-equipped aircraft, and the convenience of Air Canada’s innovative mobile app, offering real-time baggage tracking and digital identification. Aeroplan members benefit from access to these premium services at no extra cost. Non-members can easily sign up for free at aircanada.com/aeroplan or access Wi-Fi for a reduced flat fee.
Industry-Leading Innovation: Regional Routes Included
Air Canada is pushing the boundaries of in-flight connectivity even further. In an industry-first, the airline is extending its fast, free Wi-Fi to regional routes at Toronto Billy Bishop Airport. Passengers on select flights, such as those between Toronto Billy Bishop and Montreal or Ottawa, can now enjoy seamless connectivity, live TV streaming, and enhanced productivity throughout their flights. The commitment to connectivity extends to all aircraft; Air Canada plans to complete the installation and certification of Wi-Fi connectivity on its Q400 aircraft by the end of 2025, marking the first-ever fast, free Wi-Fi service on this aircraft type.
A Partnership for Connectivity
Bell has been a key partner in Air Canada’s in-flight connectivity journey since May 2023, powering the free in-flight texting service and now leading the charge into the era of fast, free Wi-Fi. This collaboration highlights Air Canada’s commitment to providing a superior travel experience in partnership with leading technology providers.
Air Canada’s move to offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi marks a significant step forward for the airline industry, setting a new standard for passenger comfort and convenience. Prepare for a more connected, enjoyable, and productive journey with Air Canada.
