Air Canada announced a significant upgrade to its in-flight services, revealing plans to roll out fast, free streaming-quality Wi-Fi across its fleet. Sponsored by Bell, this complimentary service will be available to Aeroplan members starting May 2025 on Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft for flights within North America and the Caribbean. The initiative will expand to long-haul international routes in 2026.
The service will be available across Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, and most Air Canada Express aircraft. Over 85% of aircraft will be equipped with the service by its launch in May 2025, with the remainder to follow shortly after. Q400 aircraft, frequently used for regional routes such as Toronto Billy Bishop Airport to Montreal or Ottawa, will also feature the service—a first for these aircraft types.
Aeroplan members can log in to access the free Wi-Fi, while non-members can join Aeroplan for free to enjoy the service.
A Growing Trend
Air Canada joins a growing list of airlines offering complimentary Wi-Fi to passengers. Delta offers free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles members on most domestic U.S. flights and plans to extend this to international flights in the coming months.
