Air Canada Express

Air Canada Express is a brand name under which two regional airlines operate feeder flights for Air Canada. They primarily connect smaller cities with Air Canada's domestic hub airports and focus cities, although they offer some point-to-point and international (United States) service; for example, direct service from Toronto (YYZ) to Boston (BOS).

On April 26, 2011, it was reported that Air Canada decided to retire the Air Canada Jazz brand and created the Air Canada Express brand.[2] Prior to establishing the Express name, the flights operated primarily under the Air Canada Jazz or Air Canada Alliance banners. As of January 2020, Air Georgian no longer provides services under the capacity purchase agreement. Those services were transferred back to Jazz.
