Air Canada Jazz to disappear from Whitehorse
The familiar Jazz aircraft paint schemes will start disappearing from Whitehorse airport sometime after June 1st. Replacing “Jazz” will be “Air Canada Express”, part of an ongoing re-branding of all Air Canada’s regional services for consistency.
An Air Canada press release this morning states: “The name Air Canada Express conveys efficient, rapid service and assures customers that whether their flight is operated by Air Canada mainline or Air Canada Express they can expect a consistently high-quality travel experience. Where previously our regional services used different names depending on the operating carrier, by adopting the name Air Canada Express for all our regional services we are making it easy for customers to identify when they are booked on a regional carrier,” said Ben Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.
“Apart from the reliability they associate with the Air Canada name, customers flying on Air Canada Express will also enjoy many mainline customer benefits. These include Aeroplan mileage accumulation and redemption, seamless baggage transfer, one stop check-in, advance seat selection and priority services for eligible customers where available.”
The first Jazz aircraft to have the Air Canada Express livery is a Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft (coded as DH4) that will begin service in a few days (the first photo below shows that aircraft) . The current Jazz fleet will adopt the new paint scheme as they are repainted on their regular schedule.
