Air Canada announced a new agreement with luxury car company Porsche to be the exclusive vehicle supplier of the airline's chauffeur service at YYZ , offered to select Signature Class customers. The new fleet will be electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, which supports Air Canada's commitment to reach a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions throughout its global operations by 2050.

Eligible International Signature Class customers connecting to Asia, Europe and South America arriving from within Canada will be met by a Concierge before being taken to the tarmac in a Porsche vehicle to the new Air Canada Signature Suite, which recently opened at YYZ.

"We're excited to re-launch another key dimension of our Signature Service for international customers, anchored by our industry-leading Air Canada Signature Suite in Toronto's Pearson Airport. Thanks to our partnership with Porsche, customers flying in International Signature Class can now experience their exciting and uncompromising vehicles. As we continue to restart key international routes, we look forward to welcoming our customers at Toronto Pearson with this one-of-a-kind airport premium experience in Canada," said Scott O'Leary, Vice President, Loyalty & Product at Air Canada.

The service resumes 21APR 2022 on a "surprise and delight basis" for eligible customers at YYZ. With the restart of many international routes, Air Canada has welcomed back International Signature Service customers to its Air Canada Signature Suite and its range of services, such as a menu curated by Chef David Hawksworth and wines selected by Véronique Rivest.

Following the re-opening of the Air Canada Signature Suite at YVR later this spring, the Air Canada Chauffeur Service in partnership with Porsche is planned to be introduced there later in 2022.
