Air Canada is the only national, full-service airline based in Canada. The corporation ranked as the seventh largest airline in North America and the 13th largest in the world in 2002. That year, Air Canada carried about 29 million passengers. In addition to its flagship full-service carrier, Air Canada also runs Tango, a low-fare air service operating on many Canadian and some U.S. routes; Zip, a low-fare carrier based in Calgary; and Air Canada Jazz, a regional carrier. Overall, the company serves nearly 170 destinations on five continents--but mainly North America--using a fleet of 330 aircraft, 100 of which are part of Air Canada Jazz's regional fleet. Through its membership in the Star Alliance, which also includes United Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines System, and Thai Airways International, among several others, Air Canada offers service to more than 700 destinations in more than 100 countries. Air Canada provides both scheduled and chartered air transportation for passengers as well as cargo and also owns Air Canada Vacations, a major Canadian tour operator. Aeroplan, Air Canada's frequent flyer program, has more than six million members. Having survived privatization, the threat of scandal, and the industry's usual crises throughout its 65-years-plus history, Air Canada faced a whole host of challenges in the early 2000s that severely affected its financial health and led ultimately to the firm filing for bankruptcy protection in April 2003.
Air Canada together with its regional airline subsidiary, Air Canada Jazz, provides scheduled and charter air transportation for passengers and cargo to more than 150 destinations, vacation packages to over 90 destinations, as well as maintenance, ground handling and training services to other airlines.
Canada's flag carrier is recognized as a leader in the global air transportation market by pursuing a strategy based on value-added customer service, technical excellence and passenger safety.
