About Air Canada

Air Canada, based in Canada, operates under the ICAO code ACA and the IATA code AC; its radio callsign is "Air Canada". On this page you can follow Air Canada flights and find the airports it serves.

How to read a Air Canada flight number

Every Air Canada flight number starts with AC, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix ACA, and controllers address it as "Air Canada". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Air Canada and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Air Canada

Where is my Air Canada flight right now?

Search the flight number (AC plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.

Is my Air Canada flight delayed or cancelled?

Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.

What do AC and ACA mean on Air Canada flights?

They are two prefixes for the same airline. AC is the IATA code you see on tickets; ACA is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.

Does Air Canada operate flights for other airlines?

Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Air Canada, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
