Aeroplan Adds Partnership with Air Inuit

Aeroplan has launched a new partnership with Air Inuit, which becomes the latest airline partner with which you can earn Aeroplan points.

Plus, beginning in 2026, you’ll be able to redeem Aeroplan points for flights with Air Inuit, which could become another valuable redemption opportunity with a Canadian regional airline.

With its fleet of 36 aircraft, Air Inuit offers service between a number of destinations throughout Nunavik, as well as La Grande, Montreal, Quebec City, Sept–Iles, and Schefferville.

This collaboration reflects our commitment toward continuously improving the travel experience, including benefits, for the people of Nunavik.”

Full details about the partnership can be found on the Air Inuit website.

In the first half of 2026, it’s expected that Aeroplan members will be able to redeem points for Air Inuit flights. An exact date hasn’t been announced yet, but we’ll be sure to update our website when it comes into effect.

While the exact redemption rates aren’t yet known, I’d suspect that Air Inuit flights will become a “Select Partner” for the purposes of award pricing, which means that they’ll be priced dynamically in a similar way to other Canadian regional airline partners such as Calm Air, Canadian North, and PAL Airlines.

Most one-way itineraries between Montreal and Quebec City and destinations throughout Nunavik should fall within the first two distance bands, which means that you can expect the “Starting at” prices to begin at 6,000–10,000…
