Air Canada is now offering flights on their all-business class planes

Air Canada is making its fleet of Jetz all-business class charter aircraft available to customers for commercial flights as it redeploys on popular winter routes, the company announced today.

“Air Canada is very pleased to offer its customers a unique opportunity to travel like a pro athlete or a VIP and experience our premium Jetz service,” said Air Canada’s Mark Galardo. “Customers booking on a Jetz flight will enjoy such amenities as its all-Business Class seating configuration, upgraded meal service, shorter boarding, and deplaning times.”

Features like these “create a private-jet-like experience,” he added.

Each of the airline’s four Airbus A319 Jetz aircraft is configured with only 58 North American Business Class seats – less than half the normal number of seats on this aircraft type, the company noted.

The airline said its Jetz aircraft typically transport customers such as professional sports teams, popular musical groups on tour, and corporate clients on a charter basis.

However, with the current pandemic restrictions on sports events and other large gatherings, the aircrafts are now available for commercial use.

When flying with Air Canada Jetz, customers will travel in a single cabin with 58 North American Business Class seats offering 42-to-49-inch seat pitch, including four facing seats with a table in the middle that can be booked for families and friends travelling together, and complimentary iPads for entertainment. Customers receive priority check-in and security clearance, Maple Leaf Lounge and Star Alliance Lounge access (where available) and aircraft leave from prime gate locations, requiring customers to begin boarding only 35 minutes prior to departure.

Customers will also be offered a premium, pre-packaged meal curated by celebrated Montreal chef Antonio Park with complimentary bar and beverage service. All flights will be operated in accordance with Air Canada’s biosafety protocols, centred around the Air Canada CleanCare+ program.

Customers will be able to book their Jetz flight beginning October 21, 2020 for travel during the Christmas period between December 12, 2020 and January 6, 2021, with a second schedule for March Break flights currently under development.

Air Canada Jetz will operate non-stop between the following city pairs:

• Toronto to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Barbados, Cancun, Kelowna and Vancouver.
• Vancouver to Phoenix, Palm Springs and Puerto Vallarta.
• Montreal to Fort Lauderdale and Barbados.
