Police say Geoffrey Wall misrepresented his credentials for 17 years and earned nearly $3 million while flying more than 900 flights.
- Peel Regional Police charged former Air Canada pilot Geoffrey Wall of Barrie, Ontario, with operating large aircraft without the mandatory airline transport pilot license between 2009 and 2025.
- Deputy police chief Nick Milinovich alleged Wall misrepresented his credentials during a 27-year career, flying more than 900 flights as captain without required certification.
- Air Canada stated safety was not compromised by the incident, noting all pilots undergo mandatory recurrent training every six months and certified Transport Canada check-pilot evaluations every 12 months.
- Wall was removed from active duty immediately upon discovery of the licensing issue, and Transport Canada subsequently fined the former captain while an active criminal investigation remains underway.
