Air Canada is pleased to announce its inclusion in the recently released list of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2025. This is the seventh time in the last 10 years that the airline has been recognized this way.

The list is compiled annually by the editors at Mediacorp based on submissions to the annual Canada's Top 100 Employers project and is based on employment practices related to five historically disadvantaged groups: women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, and people who self-identify within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

Air Canada lists contributing factors to its diversity programs that helped secure its spot on the list:

• Connecting with underrepresented communities to share aviation career opportunities.
• Partnerships with Canadian organizations and specialty colleges to provide scholarship opportunities for underrepresented communities studying to be pilots and aircraft mechanics.
• Establishing a robust internal governance structure that supports inclusion and belonging through all levels of the organization.
• Celebrating the diversity of our workforce through Employee Resource Groups and Champions for inclusion.

"We are very proud to be recognized again for our longstanding workplace diversity. As a global company connecting Canada to over 55 countries across the six inhabited continents, we have long subscribed to the importance of reflecting the best of Canada to our employees, customers and stakeholders," said Arielle Meloul-Wechsler, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer and Public Affairs at Air Canada.
