MONTREAL — Air Canada has launched a new program called Air Canada Corporate Rewards designed to offer useful online tools to help “businesses of all sizes better manage their travel, reduce costs and earn rewards to enhance travel” whether they work with a travel agency or not.

“The Air Canada Corporate Rewards program will make it simpler for companies of any size to track their travel investment, obtain savings and also earn rewards for flying with Air Canada. Members will be eligible to receive offers for discounts on Air Canada flights and services along with rewards such as complimentary eUpgrades, Maple Leaf Lounge access, advance seat selection and other exclusive special offers,” said Robert Trudeau, Director of Business Development at Air Canada. “Recently, Air Canada was ranked the preferred carrier of 81% of frequent business travellers surveyed in the annual Ipsos Reid Business Traveller Survey. This program, along with other attributes, such as our expansive global network, Executive Class service, Maple Leaf Lounges and Aeroplan and Altitude loyalty programs, should further boost Air Canada’s leading position as the carrier of choice among Canadian business travellers.”

Registration in Air Canada Corporate Rewards is open to any company, regardless of the number of employees it has, provided they do not already have a preferred Carrier Agreement with Air Canada. It is available to companies whether they are working with a travel agency or not. For program details, visit aircanada.com.
