Air Canada
Air Canada is Canada's largest airline. It flies from Canada to the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, and some Caribbean countries. Air Canada began on September 1, 1937.[1] It was first called Trans-Canada Air Lines. The first flight was from Vancouver to Seattle. The airline's name changed to Air Canada in 1964.[2] Air Canada was privatized in 1989.[3] A large strike was launched by Air Canada pilots in September 1998.[4] Air Canada bought Canadian Airlines in 2000.[5] Since the early 2000s Air Canada has had many financial problems.[6]
