About Jazz Aviation LP
Jazz has a strong history in Canadian aviation with its roots going back to the 1930s. We operate more flights and fly to more Canadian destinations than any other carrier. We are the only airline serving 10 provinces and 2 territories. As an integral part of Air Canada’s strategy and North American market presence, Jazz provides service to and from many smaller communities in Canada and the United States under the brand name Air Canada Express. As well, we operate to larger centres at off-peak times as a complement to Air Canada’s schedule.
Jazz is not a typical airline. We have a commercial agreement with Air Canada that is the core of our business. Under the Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA), Air Canada purchases substantially all of Jazz’s seat capacity based on predetermined rates. In reality, we are a contract carrier for Air Canada and operate our flights on their behalf. The CPA provides commercial flexibility and connecting network traffic to Air Canada, while significantly reducing Jazz’s financial and business risks.
Our fleet consists of Embraer, CRJ, and Dash 8-400 aircraft. Our CRJ900 aircraft are equipped with in-seat personal entertainment systems, enabling you to choose from a wide selection of television shows, movies and satellite radio channels to make your flight experience with Jazz more enjoyable.
Our team of dedicated Jazz professionals is focused on providing you with a safe, on-time and customer-friendly flight experience.
Jazz is owned by Chorus Aviation Inc. (TSX: CHR). Chorus's vision is to deliver regional aviation to the world.
