Air Canada Launches Embarq, a Free Booking Tool for Canadian Businesses
Small businesses and non-profits using the new platform can collect half again as many Aeroplan points on qualifying work trips, and get a discount of as much as 5% on qualifying fares, through December 10, 2026.
Air Canada started a new platform called Embarq on October 8, 2026. This is a do-it-yourself tool for arranging and handling trips, built for small and mid-sized companies and non-profit groups across Canada.
According to Prince of Travel, joining costs nothing and there is no minimum spend. Employees still book on aircanada.com and use their own Aeroplan accounts.
Under a starting promotion, people who fly for work earn 50% extra Aeroplan points on qualifying business travel through December 10, 2026. Companies can also save up to 5% on eligible fares. Air Canada states that it could lengthen the time of both promotions.
The Points Guy also published a guide on ways to earn Aeroplan points, noting that the program is still popular and that some ways to earn do not require flying.
What it means for travelers
People who travel for work at eligible Canadian organizations may earn more Aeroplan points on trips they already plan to take. Employees keep using their own Aeroplan accounts, so the points go to them. Offer rules are set by Air Canada, so details may vary by trip.
What to watch next
Check Air Canada's official website for the full terms and to see which trips and fares qualify before you book. Watch for any extension of the offers beyond December 10, 2026.
