Air Canada pilot charged after flying 900+ flights with forged license

A former Air Canada pilot, Geoffrey Wall, is charged after allegedly piloting more than 900 flights from 2009 to 2025 without the required Airline Transport Pilot License. Police say Wall falsely represented his qualifications to his employer and regulator; Air Canada says safety remained intact due to ongoing training and checks. Wall retired in 2025 and faces seven criminal counts, including fraud over $5,000 and forging documents, with a court appearance set for June 29, 2026. Police allege he earned about CAD 3 million during his nearly 17 years as captain.
