Air Canada has opened a new co-branded facility at Billy Bishop Toronto City airport in partnership with Aspire Lounges.
Referred to as the Aspire | Air Canada Café, the space is located in the airport’s domestic departures area, and is open daily between 0530 and 2030, with seating for up to 133 guests.
Features include a choice of private workspaces, lounge seating and communal tables, with locally-sourced F&B options including coffee, breads, pastries, wines, beers and cocktails, as well as a ‘Homemade-to-go’ area for takeaway sandwiches and light bites.
Aeroplan 50K, 75K and Super Elite Status members, as well as Star Alliance Gold members, Aeroplan premium co-brand cardholders and customers connecting to an Air Canada business class ticket receive complimentary access to the lounge, which can also be booked through executivelounges.com or via other membership programmes including Priority Pass, American Express and Dragonpass.
The facility has been built to LEED ID+C standards, and incorporates sustainable initiatives including wine served o tap, which Aspire said eliminates the use of around 9,000 glass bottles per year.
