You nailed it. He is indeed the King of Canada so if he's on Canadian business it's up to the Canadians to ferry him around. His fleet of aircraft in the UK,  which Tom mentioned, are not his but the UK's and hence are used for the UK's King when he's doing UK business. Of course, there are times when it might suit the UK to help the other countries out, or vice versa.  On trips to Oz our late Queen often flew Qantas and I think also BA , which presumably was sorted out by the Oz government for the Queen of Australia. I believe the RCAF are now using one of their A330 MRTTs for VIP transport, just like the UK. Natty colour scheme. I've just found out they're called the CC-330 Husky. Hard to tell just from the nose pic though as the 330 & 310 noses are similar (except for the A330F with its bulge over the nose wheel).

Strikes me as archaic, but it's their country/countries, so none of my business. While on the subject of monarchy, it strikes me that His Majesty's royal ancestor, George III, gets a bad rap in bog standard US history. Was it not really the PM, Lord North, who slapped on the tea tax and otherwise ticked off the colonists? After the (British) Glorious Revolution of 1688 and All That, Parliament pretty much called the Imperial shots, didn't they? Might be some lessons here for the current Oval Office Throne Room, but I don't want to drift into NNN.
