Plating Carrier

  • Air Canada’s plate may be used by travel agents only.
  • No commission is permitted.
  • When there are no AC sectors in the itinerary, a CAD$50.00 service charge is assessed, per ticket, for the use of the Air Canada (014) carrier identification plate.

Air Canada’s carrier identification plate cannot be used to issue tickets on:

  • other carrier contracted fares / private fares
  • other carrier agreements / contracts
  • other carrier published fares that specify in their sales restriction that ticketing must be on OAL plate.

Note: debit memos will be issued for under-collected fare, over-claimed commissions or fare not valid on AC plate in these situationsfares that specify in their sales restriction that ticketing must be on OAL plate.

Aeroplan

If Aeroplan issues the reward ticket, a travel agency can issue the revenue ticket on OAL without the plating fee, provided the names on the tickets match and the revenue ticket is cross referenced with the Aeroplan ticket.
