Air Canada has negotiated new cost-saving contracts with two more suppliers, IBM and Bell Canada.

The Star Alliance carrier, which is restructuring under bankruptcy protection, says that after negotiations with primary IT supplier IBM, it has "successfully revised its seven-year outsourcing agreement", which is in its third year of implementation.

It says the new agreement is effective from 14 November and "provides the airline with significant annual savings and efficiencies".

Air Canada has also reached a revised agreement with Bell Canada, which is its primary data wide area network and voice access provider. The new five-year agreement takes effect on 1 January.
