Starting October 2025, Air Canada will become the first airline in the world to offer free<\/a> and fast WiFi on De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. This innovation will begin on flights between Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport<\/a> and Montreal or Ottawa, sponsored by Bell. <\/p>\n

This gate-to-gate connectivity will allow business travellers, who represent the majority of passengers on these busy corridors, to maintain their productivity throughout the journey.<\/p>\n

It brings people together, whether connecting families across the country, or linking businesses to the world through our global network. This innovative project is an industry-first, and it reflects the pride we take in serving customers with care and class. By bringing many of the design details and comforts of our largest jets to the Canadian-made Dash 8-400, even our shortest flights can feel special,\u201d said Mark Nasr, Executive Vice President & Chief Operations Officer at Air Canada.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
