Air Canada to restore domestic network in exchange for aid

Saying it is “essential we maintain connections between people and our communities,” Canada’s government has agreed to grant Air Canada access to financial aid in exchange for several actions by the carrier, including domestic route restorations.   The top condition cited by Canadian deputy prime minister and minister of finance Chrystia Freeland for Air Canada gaining access to up to $5.9 billion in liquidity is that “regional communities retain air connections to the rest of Canada through the restart of service at airports temporarily suspended by Air Canada.”  Air Canada said this would be achieved by providing “access to Air Canada s network for nearly all regional communities where service was suspended because of COVID-19 s impact on travel through direct services or new interline agreements with third party regional carriers.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew Vaughan April 12, 2021 - 9:07 PM OTTAWA - After months of negotiations, Ottawa has reached a multibillion-dollar rescue deal with Air Canada that will give the government an equity stake in the pandemic-battered airline. Under the agreement, Air Canada can access up to $5.9 billion from the public purse but must refund passengers whose flights were cancelled due to COVID-19, cap executive compensation at $1 million and restore service to regional airports. The package, which will see the federal government pay $500 million for a six-per-cent stake in the country s biggest airline, also requires the carrier to maintain employment at current levels or higher.
