Air Canada is adding high-speed internet on its Air Canada Rouge leisure airline, the company announced.

The high-speed satellite service is already being offered on its Airbus A319 aircraft, with customers now having the ability to access the fastest internet on a Canadian airline.

Customers can email, stream video and music and surf the web.

“Air Canada was the first Canadian carrier to offer customers in-flight connectivity and today, we are pleased to extend this service on Air Canada Rouge,” said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada. “High-speed internet is another great on-board entertainment option for our customers and strengthens Air Canada Rouge’s promise to provide a wonderful beginning and ending to any vacation.”

Air Canada said it would be completing the installation of satellite internet on all Air Canada Rouge A321 and Boeing 767300ER aircraft by the end of 2018.

Pricing packages will be available depending on customers’ needs.
