Bell and Air Canada have teamed up to offer free access to messaging apps for all Aeroplan members worldwide on Wi-Fi-equipped planes. Bell will sponsor the inflight Wi-Fi services across Air Canada's fleet, including Air Canada Rogue and Air Canada Express, starting May 15. This deal will let you use apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Viber, and Messages by Google. You don't have to be a Bell subscriber to get access. 

This service will also be available to strategic partner airline loyalty members, including customers of United MileagePlus, Lufthansa Group Miles & More, and Emirates Skywards, when their account numbers are associated with an Air Canada booking.

Bell will even offer complimentary mobile SIM cards to international travellers arriving in Canada. Aeroplan customers will also get access to new promotional rewards and the expansion of Air Canada's Live TV service on flights to the US beginning later in the summer.
