Air Canada plans to offer free Wi-Fi to Aeroplan members aboard its flights starting next year, building on a partnership with telecom giant Bell that already gives passengers free text messaging capabilities.
The airline said Thursday that the Bell-sponsored internet service will be available on all Wi-Fi equipped aircraft for North American and Central American flights beginning in May 2025, followed by long-haul international routes in 2026.
"We think it's becoming a core expectation of customers whether they're travelling for business or for leisure," Nasr said in an interview. It says all three options offer savings over prices paid when purchasing in-flight. Non-Aeroplan members will still be able to pay for Wi-Fi packages, Nasr said. Porter Airlines also already offers free Wi-Fi for passengers on its Embraer E195-E2 fleet, a service it announced in 2022.
