Due to this refusal, some people have been sanctioned for non-compliance.
The airline hasn't revealed exactly how many incidents have occurred, or exactly what each sanction was.
"Overall, however, our customers are generally respectful of each other and understand the importance of wearing facial coverings," Air Canada added.
Recently, Transport Canada closed a loophole that let people get away with not wearing masks in airports.
