MONTRÉAL, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Air Canada Foundation is excited to welcome applications to its annual grant program. Through this initiative, the Foundation remains deeply committed to improving the health and well-being of children and youth by funding programs that deliver meaningful, lasting impact on children and their families from coast to coast to coast.

Applicants must demonstrate how their proposed project or program will improve and increase access to care, services and eliminate barriers to foster the overall well-being for children and youth from underserved* populations. To be eligible for consideration, requests must be submitted by a Canadian registered charity whose mission aligns with the Air Canada Foundation’s commitment to supporting the health and well-being of children and youth. The funding must support programs or services offered within Canada and must directly impact children from equity-deserving groups.

“We at the Air Canada Foundation believe all children deserve the chance to reach their full potential and we are proud to support organizations that help make this possible. In keeping with our 12-year mission, we’re inviting Canadian charities focused on children’s health and well-being to apply for funding through our grant program. We want to help these charities spread their wings and bring joy, care, and opportunity to more young lives across the country,” said Priscille Leblanc, Chair of the Air Canada Foundation.

In 2025, the Foundation disbursed $1.6 million as part of its annual grant program, in support of 38 distinct projects led by 38 Canadian registered charities, each aligned with one of the Foundation’s three pillars:

Health – through working with pediatric hospitals and community organizations to improve health outcomes for children and youth.

Protection- by addressing the effects of socioeconomic adversity such as food insecurity and poverty, as well as the impacts of trauma so children can live a healthy childhood.

Dreams – by fostering hope for seriously ill and impoverished children and those facing physical, mental and social adversity.

Canadian registered charities who share values around the health and well-being of children and youth may apply for a grant directly on the Air Canada Foundation website.

Financial grant applications are only accepted between November 1 and December 31 each year. All submissions are reviewed collectively after the deadline. Applicants selected for funding will receive their grants during the first half of the following calendar year.

• Operating revenues of $5.774 billion, a decline of 5% versus last year
• Operating income of $284 million with operating margin of 4.9% and adjusted EBITDA* of $961 million with adjusted EBITDA margin* of 16.6%
• Net cash flows from operating activities of $813 million and free cash flow* of $211 million
• Robust momentum in bookings, positioning Air Canada to deliver solid results in the fourth quarter of 2025

MONTREAL, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Air Canada today reported its third quarter 2025 financial results.

“We delivered a solid third quarter financial and operating performance, after adjusting for the labour disruption, which occurred at the peak of the summer season. We deeply regret that the disruption significantly affected our customers. The entire company worked extremely hard to assist those whose travel was disrupted and to quickly return our operations to normal, and we were also flexible with customer goodwill policies. I thank all employees for their commitment to customer service and operational excellence,” said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada.

“Our financial results, after adjusting for the strike impact, met our expectations, with strength in the Atlantic market and in our premium cabins. Operational metrics, such as on-time performance and net promoter score, exceeded both internal targets and last year’s levels for the quarter and year-to-date. Our underlying business fundamentals are very strong. There is good booking momentum in the fourth quarter and early positive indicators into the first quarter of 2026. Our trans-border business trends are largely stable and on par with the first half of 2025.

“We have exciting times ahead of us with growth plans fuelled by key strategic initiatives and new state-of-the-art efficient aircraft. Our focus over the next twelve months is on preparing the airline to grow and expand margins as we transform our fleet with the arrival of best-in-class aircraft across the portfolio and a revitalized Rouge offering. We will also continue to improve our cost structure through productivity gains, operational efficiencies and constant cost discipline to mitigate near term pressures. We continue to focus on free cash flow generation in order to return value to shareholders, including through the renewal of our share buyback program announced today. The hard work ahead in 2026 will position us very well for the second half of our strategic plan and to deliver significant long-term value to all stakeholders,” said Mr. Rousseau.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

• Operating revenues of $5.774 billion
• Operating expenses of $5.490 billion
• Operating income of $284 million with an operating margin of 4.9% and adjusted EBITDA of $961 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.6%

Outlook

For the full year 2025, Air Canada is updating its guidance and major assumptions as previously provided on September 24, 2025. The updated full year 2025 guidance is as follows:

• Total of seven events in cities across Canada in 2025
• The Air Canada Foundation and Air Canada partnered with local autism organizations and airports as well as PAL Airlines and Jazz Aviation
• Last event of the year took place yesterday in Vancouver
  

MONTRÉAL, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Air Canada and the Air Canada Foundation are celebrating another successful year of their Autism Aviation Days events. These events aim to provide a supportive environment where children on the spectrum can familiarize themselves with elements of air travel. This includes the entire pre-flight process, from check-in to boarding and aircraft taxiing, helping to ease anxiety and build confidence for future journeys — not only for the children but also for their families. 

This year, with the support of Jazz Aviation and PAL Airlines, events took place in Vancouver, Kamloops, Calgary, St. John’s, Quebec City, Winnipeg and Edmonton.

“Autism Aviation Days expanded significantly this year,” said Brigitte St-Pierre, Director, Official Languages and Community Engagement at Air Canada. “We were able to offer this experience to more families from coast to coast, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful initiative next year. We are honoured to have supported so many autism organizations this year, who do tremendous work in their communities. We also thank our loyal partners Jazz Aviation and PAL Airlines for their help making those events possible.”

“The initial concept was to reassure families that air travel could be a possibility. Having been approached by a travel advisor who is a Certified Autism Travel Professional based in Victoria, BC – the first Autism Aviation Day took flight at the Victoria International Airport,” says Edna Ray, Senior Manager, Regional Sales at Air Canada, who first approached the Air Canada Foundation with the idea. “The increased demand for the events this year demonstrated families with children on the spectrum most definitely would like to enjoy air travel, and we’re happy to be able to introduce families to that possibility.”

“Accessibility is measured in many ways,” said Paul Walsh, CEO, Autism Society of Newfoundland & Labrador. “On October 5th, I saw smiles and tears of joy as families realized they’d broken through a barrier that has denied them the ability to travel together. When any part of society breaks down barriers, we get closer to true equity and inclusion.”

“The Air Canada Foundation’s dedication toward inclusion and accessibility helped create a reassuring and memorable experience for many families,” said Johanne Potvin, Vice President of the Fondation de l’autisme de Québec. “We were moved by the team’s professionalism, compassion and commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of people with autism. Over 60 people had the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with airport procedures, from check-in to boarding.”

In 2024, Air Canada and the Air Canada Foundation held four Autism Aviation Days, helping over 125 children and their families learn more about air travel. In 2025, due to high demand, it hosted seven events, including in Quebec and Newfoundland for the first time, helping over 450 children and their families.

Our accessibility services team is committed to offering seamless travel experiences for all our customers and assists passengers with a wide range of services.
