Air Canada Reopens Maple Leaf Lounge at Toronto Pearson

Air Canada today reopens the Maple Leaf Lounge at Toronto Pearson, D gates.

The lounge is available to eligible customers travelling on domestic or international flights.

The Maple Leaf Lounges located in the domestic departure areas at airports in Montreal and Vancouver are set to re-open by early fall.

"We are pleased to welcome eligible customers again to one of our Maple Leaf Lounges at our primary Toronto Pearson hub," said Andrew Yiu, Vice President, Product, at Air Canada. "The Maple Leaf Lounge experience has been completely re-thought with a range of industry-leading biosafety measures in place for the safety of customers and employees alike."

The airline has introduced electrostatic spraying in its Lounges as part of its enhanced cleaning procedures and implemented new touchless processes, such as the ability to order pre-packaged food directly to your seat from your smartphone and the presentation of all reading materials in digital format through PressReader.

When the Air Canada Café reopens later this year, customers will also benefit from touchless self-entry, a process which the airline is also looking to implement at other lounges.

Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounge experience incorporates several other multi-layered biosafety measures to enhance health and safety. Highlights include: mandatory face coverings for customers and employees, plexiglass partitions at welcome desks, food and refreshments pre-packaged to-go and a modified assisted beverage service.
