Air Canada Soars with Sixth Consecutive Five Star Global Airline Award at APEX 2026

Air Canada has once again secured its place among the world’s best, earning a Five Star Global Airline Award for the sixth year in a row at the prestigious APEX 2026 Awards. Recognized by the Airline Passenger Experience Association, the accolade reflects feedback from more than one million verified passengers across 600 global airlines.

Adding to the achievement, Air Canada’s onboard Wi-Fi, sponsored by Bell and offered free to Aeroplan Members, was named Best Inflight Connectivity, underscoring the airline’s commitment to enhancing the passenger journey.

The APEX Awards are uniquely passenger-driven, based entirely on neutral third-party feedback through TripIt from Concur, and independently verified by external auditors.
