Air Canada Wi-Fi
Typical Wi-Fi probability
86%
Free Wi-Fi for Aeroplan members (sponsored by Bell — a free Aeroplan signup is all you need, not a Bell plan) on the large majority of the mainline and Rouge fleet, which is now around 97% equipped. Runs on Intelsat; part of the Air Canada Express regional fleet, including Dash 8-400s, uses Starlink instead. Long-haul international was the last gap being closed.
