Air Canada is Canada’s largest airline. It sells passenger air travel on domestic, U.S., and long-haul international routes, and it also moves cargo by air. The company mainly serves leisure travelers, business travelers, and freight customers who need time-sensitive shipping.

The airline makes money mostly by selling seats and related travel services such as checked bags, seat upgrades, loyalty program awards, and vacation packages. Its cargo business earns revenue by transporting goods on its aircraft and through its air freight network. Because airlines must fill seats and manage aircraft, fuel, labor, and airport costs, the business depends on careful scheduling and high aircraft use.

Air Canada plays a key role in Canada’s travel system because it connects major cities, cross-border routes, and international destinations. It is not just a ticket seller; it is also an operator of aircraft, airport partnerships, maintenance, and loyalty services. That mix gives it a business model tied to both consumer travel demand and the needs of companies that move goods quickly.
