Air Canada at a 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, it was among the top 20 largest airlines in the world. 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’s Class A variable voting shares and Class B voting shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the single ticker symbol “AC” and on the OTCQX International Premier in the U.S. under the single ticker symbol “ACDVF”.
Its corporate headquarters are located in Montreal.
