context_page_description: Jazz Aviation LP, commonly shortened to Jazz, is a Canadian regional airline based at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Enfield, Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chorus Aviation. Jazz Aviation provides regional and charter airline services in Canada and the United States, primarily under contract to Air Canada using the brand name Air Canada Express, and also as Jazz Charters.
  It is Canada's third-largest airline in terms of fleet size. Its Air Canada Express operations serve 79 destinations in Canada and the United States. Under a capacity purchase agreement, Air Canada sets the Jazz route network and flight schedule, and purchases all of Jazz's seat capacity based on predetermined rates. Its main base is Halifax Stanfield International Airport, with hubs at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Victoria International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and Calgary International Airport.
  Prior to April 2011, Air Canada's regional operations were branded as Air Canada Jazz.
context_section_description: The Jazz fleet consists of the following aircraft as of July 2020:
  Bombardier Aerospace delivered the first of its new regional jet variant, the 75-passenger CRJ-705 to Jazz Aviation on May 27, 2005. The aircraft was the first of 15 CRJ-705 and 15 CRJ-200 aircraft ordered in September 2004. Originally, the order had been for 30 CRJ-705s and 15 CRJ-100s but was changed to 15 and 15, subsequently, 15 Embraer E175 aircraft were added to the Air Canada mainline fleet.  A 16th CRJ-705 was added to replace a CRJ-100 which was written off.  The new aircraft undertook its first revenue-earning flight on June 1, 2005, from Calgary to Houston. In mid-2006, the last Air Canada CRJ-100 was transferred to Jazz.
  On February 9, 2010, Jazz Aviation announced that it had finalized an agreement with Bombardier Commercial Aircraft for 15 Q400 NextGen turboprops with options for an additional 15 aircraft with deliveries to start in May 2011. They were to be configured in a 74-passenger, all-economy layout. The Q400s were used to replace older CRJ-100/200 models which were returned to lessor. The Q400s were delivered in the new Air Canada Express paint scheme and were the first aircraft in the Jazz fleet to have the Air Canada Express branding.
  On April 26, 2016, Jazz Aviation announced that the remaining CRJ-705 aircraft would be converted to CRJ-900s.
  On January 14, 2019, Chorus Aviation, the parent company of Jazz Aviation, announced an extension to its Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA) with Air Canada until 2035. Along with the extension of the CPA, 14 additional CRJ-900 aircraft would be acquired, the first five of which would be sourced by Air Canada from SkyWest Airlines.
