As part of the shoot, the airline’s new B787 was being filmed by a crew in a Learjet that was flying alongside the Air Canada aircraft.

Some on the ground took to social media to ask if the Learjet was a fighter plane and the B787 was in need of a military escort.

Vancouver International Airport tweeted just after 8:30 p.m. that “no flights have been escorted by military aircraft today.”

Aviation journalist Howard Slutsken shared this in-flight video on Twitter.

Air Canada also shared some video of the flight.
