Business-Class Travel Made Easy: Exploring Air Canada's Unique Jetz Service
A Special Fleet
Air Canada has a special fleet called Jetz. It's made up of Airbus A320 planes. But these aren't your usual planes.
- Only 70 seats, all business class
- 140-160 seats on a similar aircraft
Charter Services
These planes are mainly used for charters:
- Sports teams
- Bands on tour
- Big companies
They want a private jet feel but with the range and baggage space of a regular plane.
Regular Passengers
When these planes aren't booked for charters, regular passengers can snag a seat. It's a great deal for those who want a:
- Quieter
- More comfortable flight
Routes
The Jetz planes are often seen on routes connecting major Canadian cities:
- Ottawa
- Toronto
- Montreal
- Vancouver
They also fly to some popular leisure destinations like Palm Springs.
Toronto Pearson International Airport is a big hub for these flights. It's a key spot for Air Canada's premium travel network.
Why These Routes?
The routes make sense for a few reasons:
Connect important business hubs:
- Great for people in finance, law, or consulting who value time over cheap fares.
Flexible schedule:
- The planes can be used for charters one day and then switched to regular flights the next.
- Helps with peak demand or maintenance issues.
Business and Leisure
But is this all about business? Not quite. Flights to Palm Springs show that there's a place for leisure too. It's a nice mix of business and pleasure.
Plus, the quick turnaround times mean the planes can be used efficiently.
