On Thursday (May 1, 2025), Air Canada announced that fast, free Wi-Fi for Aeroplan members sponsored by Bell is now available on Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, and Air Canada Express flights (operated with CRJ 900 aircraft) in North America, Mexico and the Caribbean.  Customers will enjoy speeds that allow for streaming, gaming and more on their own personal devices.  Certification and Wi-Fi installation on the carrier’s E175 and Q400 fleets operating at Toronto Billy Bishop Airport is expected later this year.  Fast, free Wi-Fi for Aeroplan members will also expand to international flights in 2026. 

In Thursday’s announcement, Air Canada’s EVP and Chief Operations Officer, Mark Nasr, said,

“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.  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 per cent 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.” 

Also commenting on the new onboard connectivity sponsorship, Bell’s Group President – Consumer and Small Business, Blaik Kirby, added,

“At Bell, we’re focused on delivering exceptional experiences that help Canadians stay connected wherever they are.  We’ve proudly sponsored in-flight 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’s 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.”

To connect to the free onboard Wi-Fi customers can either ensure their Aeroplan number is captured at the time of booking, or it can be added before completing check-in.  Once onboard, customers simply connect to the inflight Wi-Fi network and follow the instructions to access the Wi-Fi.  Customers who are not already Aeroplan can join free of charge, and non-members can also purchase Wi-Fi for their flight for a flat fee.
