In 2001, Air Canada’s holding company, ACE Holdings, merged Air Canada connector carriers Air B. C., Air Nova, Air Ontario and Canadian Regional Airlines to form Air Canada Jazz, a new feeder and commuter airline operating in Canada and the United States.

In February 2005, Air Canada announced the shift of many domestic flights and regional jets to Air Canada Jazz, which caused controversies as Jazz pays its staff much lower wages than the big brother. As a consequence of that move, several routes were cancelled or were operated by smaller planes from that time on.

In mid-2006, the last Air Canada regional jet was transferred to Air Canada Jazz.

In 2007, they operated a fleet of around 130 regional jets and turbo-props. The airline is one of the largest regional airlines in the world, serving more than 80 destinations throughout Canada and the US. Like Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz is a member of Star Alliance.
