‘Eh-levated’ Experience Air Canada Waves the Flag for a Busy Summer

With Canada Day fast approaching, Air Canada says it expects to welcome more than 1 million customers over the course of the next week as it kicks off the summer season with a full schedule of flights to more than 50 destinations across the country. 

“For many Canadians, summer vacation is when they explore, discover, and share experiences with each other, whether it’s across Canada or at historically relevant sites abroad, like Juno Beach in France, and we’re proud of the role we play in the travel lives of Canadians,” said Tom Stevens, AC’s VP of Customer Experience and Service Operations. 

“We’re ready for the busy summer season and our teams are focused on guiding our customers with a very real sense of Canadian pride as we share the very best of the country with the world.”
