Air Canada has announced its voluntary registration with the Office québécois de la langue française under the Charter of the French language. This step is in line with Air Canada’s commitment to the French language in Quebec and its global network. The Charter of the French language mandates the use of French in public signage, in commercial advertising and in the workplace, both for public and private sector organizations. Air Canada’s voluntary registration with the Office québécois de la langue française is an indication of the airline’s willingness and commitment to protecting and promoting the French language.
Air Canada is Canada’s largest airline and country’s flag carrier. It is also a founding member of Star Alliance, the world’s most comprehensive air transportation network. The airline provides scheduled services directly to more than 180 airports in Canada, the United States and internationally on six continents. Its loyalty program, Aeroplan, is Canada’s premier travel loyalty program. Air Canada’s freight division, Air Canada Cargo, provides air freight lift and connectivity to hundreds of destinations across six continents using Air Canada’s passenger and freighter aircraft.
Air Canada’s commitment to the French language is in line with the Official Languages Act that applies to the carrier. This act mandates the provision of services in both French and English in designated regions where the majority of the population speaks one of the two languages. The act ensures that English and French have equal status and equal rights, privileges and obligations in the Government of Canada, upon which Air Canada is regulated.
Air Canada has committed to a net-zero emissions goal from all global operations by 2050. The airline is pursuing a range of measures to meet this goal, such as investing in new, fuel-efficient aircraft, adopting operational efficiencies, and developing sustainable aviation fuels. Air Canada’s focus on sustainability is driven by the need to address climate change and reduce the environmental impact of aviation.
Overall, Air Canada’s voluntary registration with the Office québécois de la langue française underscores the airline’s commitment to the French language, while also complying with regulations and laws that apply to the carrier. In addition, Air Canada’s commitment to sustainability aligns with the global need to address climate change and pursue a more sustainable future.
