Air Canada is now offering a 4% commission for Canadian travel agents to sell Tango fares for all flights operated within Canada by Air Canada, Jazz and its commercial partners.

Tickets eligible for the incentive must be sold through the airline's agency portal at aircanada.com/agents.

In addition, Air Canada has launched a Bonus Aeroplan Miles promotion available to new Aeroplan members enrolled by their travel agent through the airline's agency portal.

"With the introduction of commissions for Tango fares, Air Canada is rewarding the support of Canadian travel agents," said Ben Smith, Air Canada's Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. "This is consistent with the direction of the new Air Canada team to re-engage our travel trade partners. It is in partnership with Canada's travel trade community that we serve tens of thousands of customers every day, so it is important that each and every travel professional knows they will be rewarded for providing customers with the best value for their budget. As the market leader in schedule, product offering and loyalty benefits through Aeroplan, Air Canada has just the ticket."

To celebrate Aeroplan's 25th Anniversary together with the airline's travel partners, new Aeroplan members enrolled by their travel agent from June
4 to July 31st will automatically receive 1,000 Aeroplan Bonus Miles, plus Double Aeroplan Miles for the first two flights if they travel before December 31, 2009.
