Air Canada has opened its fourth Air Canada Café.
Its premium grab-and-go lounge concept is now open to travellers at Vancouver International Airport (YVR).
According to a press release, located in the domestic terminal between Gates C46 and C47, the new 2,142-square-foot space offers locally inspired food, self-serve beverages, and power at every seat.
Eligible customers can access the lounge by scanning their boarding pass at eGates.
"This new space is all about offering guests a thoughtful blend of modern amenities and cozy vibes, while celebrating the beauty and spirit of Vancouver,” said Jacqueline Harkness, managing director, Product & Services at Air Canada.
“We hope the Air Canada Café becomes a go-to place for our customers to unwind and recharge, making their time at YVR even more enjoyable."

The café’s menu includes Vancouver favourites such as Nanaimo bars and Lee’s Donuts, along with Asian-inspired dishes like Vietnamese nems (spring rolls), a Korean crispy chicken burger, and matcha and white chocolate overnight oats. Local craft beer and seltzer from Persephone Brewing and Nitro cold brew on tap are also available.
The design, created in collaboration with Vancouver’s Smart Design, incorporates aviation and nature-inspired details, including a fuselage-style ceiling and light fixtures modelled after river rocks.

The Vancouver location joins existing Air Canada Cafés at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (in partnership with Aspire), and Montréal-Trudeau International Airport.
By the end of 2025, Air Canada plans to add more than 500 additional lounge seats across its global network.
