Air Canada is the national carrier of Canada and the most well-known and reliable airline in the country. Along with its subsidiaries, Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge, it flies to more than 50 destinations within Canada, making it one of the best-connected airlines in the country.
The airline has hubs in four of Canada's major cities — Calgary (YYC), Montreal (YUL), Toronto (YYZ) and Vancouver (YVR) and flies all over Canada from these hubs to other big cities, as well as the more remote destinations. The airline also offers point-to-point flights between other Canadian destinations too. So, no matter where you're travelling to within Canada, Air Canada will be able to fly you there.
Air Canada internal flights are known for three things — safety, reliability and its high-quality service. As the national carrier and a full-service airline, Air Canada goes above and beyond when it comes to in-flight service. Some of the world's big carriers will often cut-back on their in-flight offering on domestic flights, due to the short flight time. But, Air Canada offers the same great service on all of its flights.
