Air Canada's Aeroplan loyalty program had the best showing in its history at the 32nd annual Freddie Awards held in Washington, DC. Aeroplan was named for Airline Program of the Year, Best Promotion and Best Redemption Ability.

"We're so proud to once again be recognized at this year's Freddie Awards," said Scott O'Leary, Vice President, Loyalty and Product at Air Canada. "A special thanks to our Aeroplan members and to our incredibly dedicated team, both in front of and behind the scenes, who bring this great program to life every day."

Named for Sir Freddie Laker, The Freddie Awards are considered to be the most prestigious awards in the travel loyalty industry. The awards recognize travel loyalty programs that demonstrate excellence in customer service, value, and innovation. This year more than 9 million votes were cast worldwide.

Air Canada says the transformed Aeroplan program, re-launched in November 2020, is designed to put the member experience first. The program offers flight rewards to thousands of destinations worldwide on Air Canada and more than 45 partner airlines.

"With predictable pricing, with access to every seat available on Air Canada flights, no carrier surcharges on Air Canada redemptions, plus features like Family Sharing, it is easier than ever to find great uses of Aeroplan points," Air Canada says in a press release.

"Members also have an integrated booking experience, with the ability to search for and redeem flight rewards at aircanada.com or on the Air Canada app, including the ability to add a stopover to an international itinerary for just 5,000 points."

Aeroplan has also recently been recognized for:

-- Best Earning and Redemption Ability at the 2022 Frequent Traveler People's Awards

-- Best Redemption Ability at the 2022 Freddie Awards

-- Top Airline Loyalty Program and four credit card awards at the Rewards Canada 2022 Canada's Choice Travel Loyalty Awards
