To the point All airlines are gradually announcing new flights launching (or routes reopening). Here is a summary.

New Star Alliance flights

With Aeroplan points, you can book flights with Air Canada or any Star Alliance member airline, or with an airline partner (Etihad Airways, Virgin Australia, etc.).

As a result, new flights launches mean new opportunities to use your Aeroplan points.
