Prior to April 2011, Air Canada's regional operations were branded as Air Canada Jazz. Following the award of a contract to Sky Regional Airlines, the Air Canada Express brand was introduced as an umbrella for all regional operations. The Jazz brand is now entirely managed by Jazz Aviation LP.<ref>{{Citation |title=LP (jazz) |date=2003 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.j276000 |work=Oxford Music Online |publisher=Oxford University Press |doi=10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.j276000 |access-date=September 30, 2022|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

==History==

===Corporate history=== [[File:Air Canada Express Embraer 175 C-FEKJ on final approach to Boston March 2025.jpg|thumb|left|A Jazz Embraer E175, 2025]]

Air Canada Regional Inc. was established in 2001 from the consolidation of the '''Air Canada Connector''' carriers Air BC, Air Nova, Air Ontario, and Canadian Regional Airlines (shortly after the merger between Canadian Airlines and Air Canada). The merger was finalized in 2002 with the creation of a new brand: '''Air Canada Jazz'''.

In 2006, ACE Aviation Holdings, the owners of Air Canada, sold off all of its Air Canada Jazz assets. Air Canada Jazz was then an independent company known as Jazz Air Income Fund, which launched an initial public offering in February 2006; units of the income trust traded as JAZ.UN.

On November 15, 2010, the airline was restructured and changed its name to Chorus Aviation, became a public corporation, and traded as "CHR" at the Toronto Stock Exchange.<ref name="lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca">{{cite web|url=http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/economie/transports/201011/09/01-4340864-jazz-se-transforme-en-societe-par-actions-et-devient-chorus-aviation.php|language=fr|trans-title=Jazz transforms into joint-stock company and became Chorus Aviation|title=Jazz se transforme en société par actions et devient Chorus Aviation|date=November 9, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101114113446/http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/economie/transports/201011/09/01-4340864-jazz-se-transforme-en-societe-par-actions-et-devient-chorus-aviation.php |archive-date=November 14, 2010}}</ref>

In 2011, Air Canada announced it would phase out the use of the "Air Canada Jazz" name and livery, and instead brand its regional operations as "Air Canada Express", with the subtitle "operated by Jazz".

In February 2006, Air Canada announced that City Centre Aviation Limited (CCAL) had served a 30-day termination notice for Jazz's month-to-month lease of terminal space at Toronto City Centre Airport.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/jazz-voted-off-the-island-1.607012|title=Jazz voted off the Island|publisher=CBC News|date=February 28, 2006|access-date=December 3, 2009}}</ref> The Toronto Port Authority itself does not control any significant terminal space at the airport, but it extended permission for Jazz to continue using the airport; however, since the airline could not find terminal space, they cancelled service to the airport at the end of February 2006. CCAL had been bought by REGCO Holdings, (now Porter Aviation Holdings), the owners of Porter Airlines, which launched service from the airport later that year.

In August 2008, Jazz Aviation removed all life jackets from its aircraft to lower fuel costs. According to the airline, passengers are to use floating seat cushions in the event of an emergency over water.<ref>{{cite web|website=CBC News|date=25 August 2008|title=Jazz removes life vests to save fuel|archive-date=15 December 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251215081048/https://www.cbc.ca/news/jazz-removes-life-vests-to-save-fuel-1.720122|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/jazz-removes-life-vests-to-save-fuel-1.720122}}</ref> The airline also stated that the probability of a water landing on the regional airline routes was almost zero, as no operation over great bodies of water occurs except for the Great Lakes and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and that in all circumstances, the airline always remains within {{convert|50|nmi|lk=in}} from land, as stipulated in the law, which removes the obligation from carrying any flotation devices.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thestar.com/article/484113|title= Air Canada's Jazz tosses life jackets|author=Winsa, Patti|publisher=The Toronto Star|date=August 23, 2008|access-date=December 3, 2009}}</ref>

Bombardier Aerospace delivered the first of its new regional jet variant, the 75-passenger Bombardier CRJ705 to Jazz Aviation on May 27, 2005.{{cn|date=December 2025}} The aircraft was the first of 15 CRJ705 and 15 Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft ordered in September 2004. Originally, the order had been for 30 CRJ705s and 15 CRJ200s but was changed to 15 and 15, subsequently, 15 Embraer 175 aircraft were added to the Air Canada mainline fleet. A 16th CRJ705 was added to replace a CRJ100 which was written off. The new aircraft undertook its first revenue-earning flight on June 1, 2005, from Calgary to Houston.
