Travel in style: Air Canada goes electric with Porsche for premium customers at key Canadian hubs
The partnership comes as the carrier re-introduces its Air Canada Signature Suite at both of the major gateways.
Air Canada’s Vice President, Loyalty and Product, Scott O’Leary, said eligible connecting International Signature Class customers arriving from within Canada will be met by a Concierge before being whisked away on the tarmac in a Porsche vehicle to the distinctive Air Canada Signature Suite.
He said the fleet of vehicles will be electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including the Porsche Taycan, Panamera and Cayenne, supporting Air Canada’s commitment to reach a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions throughout its global operations by 2050.
“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,” O’Leary said.
“Thanks to our partnership with Porsche, customers flying in International Signature Class can now experience their exciting and uncompromising vehicles.
“We look forward to welcoming our customers with this one-of-a-kind airport premium experience in Canada, in partnership with one of the world’s most iconic luxury car brands,” he said.
Earlier this year, Air Canada has welcomed back International Signature Service customers to its exclusive Air Canada Signature Suite and its range of exceptional services, such as a menu curated by Chef David Hawksworth and exclusive wines selected by Véronique Rivest.
