Plus, given the tons of miles they sell to CCs and the likes, surely they need to buy quite a few tickets.
Aeroplan doesn't buy their redemption tickets on OAL from AC, they buy them from the OAL directly. They are our biggest customer because they buy a lot of redemption tickets directly from us, but the only tickets they buy from us are for flights that we operate.
