Air Canada’s Covid Safety

Air Canada Covid Safety Guidelines

You can fly confidently, knowing Air Canada’s Covid Safety measures are in your best interest. They include HEPA filtration systems that capture 99.9% of airborne particles, and continually refresh cabin air. All high-touch areas are sanitized with a hospital-grade disinfectant before every flight and each time an aircraft overnights it receives a thorough cleaning.

Additional preventive measures like blocking the adjacent seat in Economy Class, mandatory face coverings, and adjusted on board service are also in place to better protect customers and employees. Seat buckles, over head bin handles, light switches and controls, armrests and are sanitized regularly between flights.
