by Bruce Parkinson
Air Canada won three honours at the 2026 Freddie Awards for travel loyalty programs.
Air Canada’s Aeroplan has again been recognized as a leading travel loyalty program, earning three top honours at the 35th annual Freddie Awards in the Americas region.
In its fourth consecutive winning year at the travel loyalty industry awards, named for British aviation pioneer Sir Freddie Laker, Aeroplan took home Program of the Year, Best Redemption Ability, and Best Promotion for its Accelerate Your Way to Status campaign.
“We’re incredibly proud to be recognized once again at the prestigious Freddie Awards,” said Scott O’Leary, AC’s Vice President, Loyalty & Product.
“This honour is especially meaningful to us because it’s voted on by our members whose loyalty and feedback continue to guide us. This is also a testament to our dedicated Aeroplan team, whose tireless work and commitment ensure we continue to deliver a best-in-class program for our members.”
Founded in 1988, the Freddie Awards are given out based on votes from millions of frequent flyers worldwide.
“On a consistent basis, Aeroplan provides reasonably priced awards. They don’t add fuel surcharges to Air Canada redemptions, and you can easily book your awards on their website. They even have more airline partners to redeem with than anybody else,” said Gary Leff, Co-Organizer of the Freddie Awards.
“Their members clearly recognize the outstanding value in being a part of the Aeroplan program.”
Aeroplan says the recognition reflects its commitment to delivering an industry-leading member experience.
