Air Canada At Glance
Air Canada is Canada's largest airline and the largest provider of scheduled passenger
services in the
Canadian market,
the Canada-U.S. transborder market and in the international market to and from Canada. In 2019, Air Canada,
together
with its Air Canada Express regional partners, carried over 51 million passengers, offering direct passenger
service to
nearly 220 destinations on six continents. Air Canada is a founding member of Star Alliance™, providing the
world's most
comprehensive air transportation network.
Air Canada's predecessor, Trans-Canada Air Lines (TCA) inaugurated its first flight on September 1, 1937.
The 50-minute
flight aboard a Lockheed L-10A carried two passengers and mail between Vancouver and Seattle. By 1964, TCA
had grown to
become Canada's national airline; it changed its name to Air Canada. The airline became fully privatized in
1989. Air
Canada shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:AC), and effective July 29, 2016, its Class A
variable
voting shares and Class B voting shares began trading on OTCQX International Premier in the US under the
single ticker
symbol "ACDVF".
Air Canada is among the 20 largest airlines globally.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
"Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion is not only the right thing to do, it is also
essential for any organization
that wants to attract and retain the best available talent. For an expanding global carrier such as
Air Canada, it is
also vital that our diverse customer base sees itself reflected in our workforce and diversity also
enables us to better
accommodate our customers' varied needs and expectations."
