Commitment to Diversity

“We take our practices, processes, communication and approaches to diversity, equity and inclusion seriously. Our holistic approach enables us to strive within every area and sector of our business to adopt inclusive practices and accessible approaches. Our strategy is propelled by our people and embraces equity-seeking groups to make sure our culture is rich, respectful and healthy for our employees and our customers. These DEI factors are the contributors that make Air Canada successful.” - Christianna Scott, Director, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Air Canada is committed to lifting each other up by creating a workplace culture where diversity is valued and encouraged, and where people can be equitably represented at all levels of the organization. We rise higher when we actively work together towards a more fair, equitable and inclusive future. Our AC Proud employee resource group (ERG) was founded in 2023 and leads our annual pride festivities throughout the summer and brings forward various initiatives throughout the year.

We believe in listening to our people, while giving our people autonomy to make sure they are heard, empowered, feel represented and supported to make a healthier and more inclusive culture.

Vision for the Future

At Air Canada Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are essential to our success. With our ambition to become a top 10 global airline in everything we do, we aim to create a healthy and rewarding work environment for our employees.

“At Air Canada, we strive to be the best at what we do and to align with our Canadian values and culture. This is why we support the LGBTQ2+ community, an important part of the Canadian demographic. We believe everyone deserves respect and equitable treatment, no matter how they identify. As Canada’s largest airline and flag carrier, we are the largest airline in the Canadian market, the Canada-U.S. transborder market, and in the international market to and from Canada. Our business is all about people – our employees and customers are fundamental to our success. This is why we foster an inclusive environment, in the air and on the ground, every day in our mission to rise higher.”
