Aeroplan and Club Avolta Forge Loyalty Program Partnership in North America

Aeroplan and Club Avolta are launching a new collaboration giving members more ways to earn points throughout their travel journey. Aeroplan Members who link their Aeroplan and Club Avolta accounts through the Club Avolta app will be able to earn Aeroplan points on eligible purchases at more than 900 Avolta airport and travel retail locations.

How It Works
- Aeroplan members can now link their accounts with Club Avolta through the Club Avolta app.
- Once linked, members earn 1 Aeroplan point for every C$2 spent at eligible Avolta locations.
- Applies to purchases at Hudson and Dufry stores, pre-orders via Reserve & Collect, and the Club Avolta app.

Expansion Ahead
- Later this year, earning opportunities will extend to HMSHost dining outlets (casual dining, quick-service, bars, Grab & Go).
- Once fully rolled out, nearly 1,900 outlets across North America will participate.

Where You Can Earn
- Major Canadian airports: Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Calgary (YYC), Billy Bishop Toronto (YTZ).
- Major U.S. airports: Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Chicago O’Hare (ORD).

Leadership Voices
- Atousa Ghoreichi (Avolta): called this a “transformational milestone” and highlighted endless earning opportunities across travel retail and dining.
- Scott O’Leary (Air Canada): emphasized that “travel starts well before the boarding gate,” and this partnership makes everyday travel moments more rewarding.

Recognition
- Aeroplan has been celebrated at the 2026 Freddie Awards, winning Program of the Year for the fourth consecutive year—based on votes from over 9 million loyalty members worldwide.

This partnership is a big step in turning Aeroplan into a lifestyle loyalty program, not just an airline points scheme. It mirrors moves by competitors like Delta SkyMiles (with Starbucks) and United MileagePlus (with Marriott), but Aeroplan’s integration with airport retail and dining is particularly ambitious.
