Business Class is Air Canada's premium product in North America, and is offered by Jazz (doing business as Air Canada Express) on the CRJ705.

Each seat is equipped with a 110V power outlet and personal audio/video on demand featuring Air Canada's enRoute ҽ inflight entertainment system. The CRJ705's galley is not equipped with ovens, therefore only cold meals are served.

On flights over 90 minutes, Jazz operates a buy on board service for Air Canada called Air Canada Express Café offering snacks for purchase.
