How Air Canada phishing works
Phishing against Air Canada follows patterns common to travel & transport. Typical lures:
- A "your booking is cancelled" or "confirm your reservation" email with a payment link.
- A fake loyalty-points expiry or free-flight offer asking you to log in.
- A cloned hotel or airline site reached through a paid search ad.
- A fake host or guest message asking you to pay outside the platform.
Red flags
- Booking problems are handled inside the real app, not through an urgent email link.
- Payment is requested by bank transfer, gift card or a link outside the official site.
- The site looks right but the address bar shows a different domain.
Real Air Canada domains
If the address in your browser is not one of these (or a subdomain of them), it is not Air Canada. The list is not exhaustive.

Check the booking in the official app, contact your card issuer if you paid, and change the account password and loyalty-programme login. Report the listing or message to the platform.
Protecting a brand like Air Canada from lookalike domains
If you run security, brand or fraud for a company that is copied this way, this is the order that works in practice:
- Enforce DMARC. Move your policy to quarantine, then reject, so attackers cannot send mail that passes as your domain.
- Watch new registrations. Lookalikes appear daily; the earlier you see one, the sooner you can act, ideally before the first email goes out.
- Register the obvious typos and keyword variants you can afford to hold, and check which lookalikes are already registered by someone else.
- Report fast. A live fake needs a request to the registrar and host, plus a report to browser safe-browsing lists and the public feeds shown above.
- Tell your customers where you will and will not ask for logins, codes or payments.
Protect your brand from lookalike domains
Air Canada is one of 579 brands in this index, but attackers copy any company whose customers log in or pay. PhishPin checks your domain for registered lookalikes, email-spoofing gaps and listings in these same phishing feeds, then helps you get the fakes taken down.

How can I tell if a message from Air Canada is phishing?
Check the sender and link domain first. Booking problems are handled inside the real app, not through an urgent email link.

How many Air Canada phishing sites has PhishPin found?
As of 1 Nov 2026, 1 hostnames referencing Air Canada appear in the phishing feeds PhishPin indexes (2 reported URLs). These are reported hostnames, not a count of sites that are online today; many are removed quickly and some matches are coincidental.
What do fake Air Canada domains look like?
In our data, the most common ending for reported hosts is .business. Always read the part of the address just before the first single slash: that is the real site. Real Air Canada addresses end in aircanada.com.
What should I do if I entered my details on a fake Air Canada page?
Check the booking in the official app, contact your card issuer if you paid, and change the account password and loyalty-programme login. Report the listing or message to the platform.
How do I report a fake Air Canada website or message?
Forward phishing emails to reportphishing@apwg.org, report scams at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and report the page to Google Safe Browsing. Also tell Air Canada through the contact options on its official website (aircanada.com).
Is it safe to visit the domains listed on this page?
No. They are shown defanged, with dots in brackets, so they cannot be clicked by accident. Do not type them into a browser. Listings are warnings from automated matching, and some are harmless coincidences.
How does PhishPin find lookalike domains of Air Canada?
We read the daily list of newly registered domains (1,050,000 domains over the last 15 days) and flag those that contain the brand name, differ by one character or swap look-alike characters. A match is a warning sign, not proof of abuse.
How can a company protect its own brand from lookalike domains like these?
Publish an enforced DMARC policy so nobody can send mail as your domain, monitor newly registered domains that resemble your name, register the obvious typo domains, and file takedown requests with the registrar, host and browser safe-browsing lists when a fake goes live. PhishPin's free brand audit checks the first three for your domain.
