Seeing things a little differently
Award-winning employer
Jazz is Air Canada’s largest regional partner, and one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People and Top Diversity Employers with a safe and award-winning operation.
Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day - an opportunity to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, voices, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. June is also National Indigenous History Month and this year is dedicated to the missing children, the families left behind, and the survivors of residential schools.
Through our commitment to seek knowledge and understanding, today Jazz employees have been invited to participate in Della’s Story, a virtual escape room that follows the life story of a Sixties Scoop survivor who was taken from her family in 1964. We will continue to seek learning opportunities to advance the process of Canadian reconciliation.
Jazz acknowledges that our head office is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.

This past Monday, brothers and Dash 8-300 Captains Pierre and Daniel Préfontaine flew their last flight together before retiring. Beginning their aviation journey together in 1977, the brothers have been flying for over 40 years. Their final flight was a family affair, with Pierre’s daughter Camille Préfontaine, also a Jazz pilot, joining them in the jumpseat, and Daniel’s wife Marlène Gauthier as the Flight Attendant. Also pictured is Pierre’s son William Préfontaine, a pilot who started his career at Jazz. Best wishes! (Family group photo taken pre-COVID)

Lundi dernier, les frères Pierre et Daniel Préfontaine, tous deux commandants de Dash 8-300, ont piloté ensemble pour la dernière fois avant leur retraite. En aviation depuis 1977, ils ont sillonné le ciel pendant plus de quarante ans. Leur dernier vol s’est déroulé en famille, avec la fille de Pierre, Camille Préfontaine, aussi pilote à Jazz, sur le siège de l’observateur et l’épouse de Daniel, Marlène Gauthier, comme agente de bord. On voit aussi sur la photo le fils de Pierre, le pilote William Préfontaine, qui a commencé sa carrière à Jazz. Bonne retraite ! (Photo de famille prise avant la pandémie.)

This past weekend, Dash 8-300 pilots Dean Baverstock and Barb Pich flew their last flight together after spending 24 years with Jazz. They also happen to be husband and wife! A special end to a long career of flying. We wish them the best! #aircanadaexpress #operatedbyjazz
Happy International Flight Attendant Day! Today we recognize our Flight Attendants and all they do. They are the friendly faces who greet passengers as they board, preparing them for their journey ahead. They are the trained professionals who work diligently to ensure the safety of all on board. They are the caring individuals who provide comfort and reassurance to passengers. They are skilled multitaskers who ensure service runs smoothly while juggling whatever comes their way. They have adapted to new safety protocols and procedures in order to keep our operations running smoothly during this time of uncertainty. For all of this and more, we thank them. #flightattendant (Photos without masks taken pre-COVID)

Bonne Journée internationale des agents de bord ! Aujourd’hui, nous soulignons le travail exceptionnel de nos agents et agentes de bord. Ils accueillent chaleureusement les passagers à bord et les préparent pour leur voyage. Professionnels dûment formés, ils travaillent sans relâche à assurer la sécurité des passagers tout en leur offrant confort et réconfort. Polyvalentes et talentueuses, ces personnes veillent au bon déroulement du service tout en gérant les situations à mesure qu’elles se présentent. Les agents et agentes de bord se sont adaptés aux nouveaux protocoles et procédures en matière de sécurité pour faire en sorte que nos activités se déroulent sans heurts pendant cette période d’incertitude. Pour ces raisons et bien d’autres encore, nous les remercions. #agentdebord (Les photos sans masques ont été prises avant la COVID.)
