History
Air Canada’s predecessor Trans-Canada Airlines undertook its first flight on 1st September 1937 from Vancouver to Seattle. In 1964 the airline was given its present name and became an acknowledged state airline. In 1989, the airline was privatised; 11 years later Air Canada bought the second largest Canadian airline Canadian Airlines International. In addition to the long-haul flights provided, an airline subsidiary, Air Canada Jazz, operates regional flights. Air Canada is founding member of the Star Alliance.
