Air Canada became the first Canadian airline to offer customers the chance to follow their preferred sports teams by watching international sporting events in real-time or watching live national news on a flight when it announced today that it has launched Live TV on select aircraft and domestic routes.
Six Canadian English and French channels are currently broadcast live on Air Canada flights as part of the airline’s free and varied inflight entertainment options.
Live TV is currently available on 40 Boeing 777, Boeing 787, Airbus A330, and Airbus A220 aircraft. By the second quarter of 2023, Air Canada anticipates that 50% of domestic flights flown by mainline aircraft will provide Air Live TV.
