Regarding pricing, Aeroplan has recently updated its award chart for certain partners, including regional airlines such as PAL (Provincial Airlines), Canadian North, and Calm Air, which have shifted from fixed to dynamic pricing. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect a similar approach with Air Inuit, although nothing has been officially announced yet.

Our Analysis

This partnership is excellent news for several reasons: it democratizes access to travel rewards in the North, expands Aeroplan’s offering in a strategic region, and allows frequent business travellers to optimize their trips. Travellers will also be able to earn points more easily and potentially reach Aeroplan Elite Status with the new rules coming into effect in 2026.

Recognition

Aeroplan, recently crowned “Program of the Year” in America at the Freddie Awards, continues its strategic expansion. With over 9 million active members, this partnership reinforces its leadership position in the Canadian loyalty program market.

Bottom Line

This alliance between Air Inuit and Aeroplan marks an important step in enhancing the travel experience in Northern Quebec. Travelers will benefit from significant advantages while contributing to the region’s economic development.
