About Jazz
Jazz Aviation (ICAO: JZA) is a Canadian regional airline that plays a crucial role in connecting communities across North America as a primary operator of Air Canada Express flights.
Jazz Aviation LP was founded in January 2001 through the rebranding and consolidation of several regional carriers, launching operations as Air Canada Jazz in 2002. The company became an independent public entity in 2006, and since 2010, it has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chorus Aviation Inc. Jazz Aviation is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where its main operational headquarters are located.
The airline's primary hubs for its Air Canada Express operations include major Canadian airports such as Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), and Calgary International Airport (YYC). As of November 2025, Jazz Aviation operates a fleet of 99 aircraft, predominantly consisting of regional jets and turboprops, specifically Bombardier CRJ900, De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400, and Embraer 175 models.
