The airline blamed the erroneous map on a “display issue.”

A digital in-flight map on Air Canada replaced the entire State of Israel with ‘Palestinian territories.’

The geographical error was noticed by a passenger on a recent flight from Vancouver to Montreal.

“Air Canada has been made aware of a display issue with the interactive map on the IFE systems of its B737 aircraft,” the airline said in response to an image of the erroneous flight map posted to X on Monday.

“The issue has affected other carriers using the same system and we are working with the third-party provider on a remedy,” added the statement.

Air Canada is set to resume flights to Israel in June which had been suspended due to the security situation.

Last year, a similar error on the interactive maps aboard a JetBlue flight caused a public outcry. The U.S. carrier said that the map had been provided by a third-party company and decided “after a careful review” to switch to a new vendor.
