Air Canada has announced the launch of Air Canada Embarq, a new self-serve travel management platform designed specifically to help Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises and non-profit organizations with their business travel needs.
Part of Air Canada for Business, Air Canada Embarq brings travel management, tracking and rewards together in one centralized platform, giving businesses a simpler way to manage travel, optimize budgets and support employees on the road. Travellers book directly through aircanada.com, with eligible travel automatically recognized and attributed to their company.
“Canadian entrepreneurs and growing businesses need simple, flexible tools that help them connect with customers, partners and opportunities across Canada and globally,” said Alexandre Lefèvre, vice president of Network Planning and Global Sales at Air Canada. “Air Canada Embarq reflects our ongoing investment in innovative solutions that are tailored to help Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises connect, grow and succeed.”
Air Canada Embarq enables registered businesses and non-profit organizations to enroll quickly and book business travel. Travellers can use their Aeroplan account and select business travel when booking, helping ensure eligible benefits are applied and trips are tracked through the Air Canada Embarq portal.
The platform gives companies and non-profits access to a centralized hub with built-in reporting, providing travel managers with visibility into company travel activity without the complexity of a fully managed travel program. Company travel arrangers can also book on behalf of employees, helping teams save time and reduce administrative work.
Through Air Canada Embarq, businesses can benefit from cost savings and direct access to a dedicated Air Canada for Business support team. There is no minimum travel spend requirements and no cost to join, making the platform accessible to Canadian companies and non-profits of different sizes and stages of growth.
