Flights for Air Canada's regional subsidiary, Air Canada Express, are currently operated by two carriers: Jazz Aviation and PAL Airlines. These operators enable passengers to connect seamlessly with Air Canada's mainline flights and participate in the Aeroplan frequent flier program.
Previously, Air Georgian and Sky Regional Airlines provided services under the Air Canada Express brand until 2020 and 2021, respectively. Since 2021, Jazz Aviation has been the primary operator of these regional flights. In 2023, PAL Airlines also began operating under the brand.
Jazz Aviation was established in 2001 and is one of Canada's largest airlines by fleet size. It operates a fleet of 99 aircraft, including Bombardier CRJ900s, De Havilland Canada Dash 8-Q400s, and Embraer E170s. The airline's Dash 8-Q400s have an economy class-only configuration, while its CRJ900 and E170 aircraft offer both business class and economy seating. An agreement with Air Canada allows Jazz to operate flights according to routes set by Air Canada.
