What is Air Canada?
Is Air Canada down? Air Canada is Canada's largest airline and flag carrier, founded in 1937 as Trans-Canada Air Lines. It operates an extensive international and domestic network from hubs in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary, serving over 220 destinations worldwide. Air Canada is a founding member of the Star Alliance, the world's largest airline alliance, providing its passengers with connections and recognition benefits at partner airlines globally. Aeroplan — originally part of Air Canada before being spun out and later reacquired — is Canada's largest loyalty programme and a significant driver of customer retention.
Air Canada's digital platforms handle booking, check-in, Aeroplan management, and travel document verification for millions of Canadian and international travellers annually. The Air Canada app provides digital boarding passes, flight status, and Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge access for eligible members. The airline's Aeroplan credit cards in partnership with TD Bank, CIBC, and other Canadian financial institutions represent a significant Aeroplan points issuance channel. Air Canada serves as critical transportation infrastructure for a geographically large country with many communities served by limited carriers.
Air Canada app and website outages affect travellers particularly during winter storms and irregular operations periods common to Canadian aviation. Common symptoms include online check-in failing to complete, boarding passes not generating, Aeroplan account upgrades and seat selection not processing, or the flight status tracker not reflecting actual departure or gate information. Given Air Canada's role as a near-monopoly carrier on many Canadian routes, digital outages have limited alternative options for affected passengers.
