The History of Air Canada
When examining the major impact of an airline, one should take into account the airline’s history. Air Canada is known as the largest airline of Canada. Air Canada provides scheduled and charter air transport for passengers and cargo up to 178 destinations worldwide (Air Canada, 2013). It is known as the world's ninth largest passenger airline by a number of destinations, and is a founding member of the Star Alliance (Air Canada, 2013). Air Canada's largest hub is Toronto Pearson International Airport, located in Mississauga, Ontario. The airline’s corporate headquarters are located in Montreal, Quebec (Air Canada, 2013).
Air Canada has been around for about 77 years and dates back to the 1930’s. It was not named Air Canada at the time. The airline was founded on April 11, 1936, was Canada’s national airline. This airline originated from the Canadian federal government’s creation of Trans- Canada Airlines (TCA) as a subsidiary of Canadian National Railway (CNR) (Flyvertosset's Aviation Blog, 2013). In 1938-1939, TCA operated its first transcontinental flight routes, which included passenger operations with an Electra carrying two passengers and mail from Vancouver to Seattle. (Flyvertosset's Aviation Blog, 2013). Trans-Canada Airlines was then renamed Air Canada following the approval of the government. This was the same year when TCA hired its first flight attendants (Flyvertosset's Aviation Blog, 2013). By 1940, the airline continued to grow with about 500 employees (Flyvertosset's Aviation Blog, 2013).
During the 1940’s- 1960’s, the airline continued to thrive. In 1949, the federal government moved the headquarters to Montreal (Flyvertosset's Aviation Blog, 2013). Surprisingly, in 1953 Trans- Can...

The Avro Arrow was Canada’s broken dream and it could have been one of Canada’s greatest aeronautical achievements. The cancelation of the Avro Arrow was a huge mistake that set Canada’s aviation industry back, which resulted in a Brain Drain to USA and was an act of Canada bowing to USA pressure. The Avro Arrow, an advanced, supersonic, twin-engine, all-weather interceptor jet aircraft developed by A.V. Roe of Canada in 1949, could have been many things. It might have become the fastest plane in the world, our best defense against Soviet bombers, the catalyst to propel Canada to the forefront of the aviation industry. Instead, it became a $400-million pile of scrap metal, and the stuff of legends. If A.V. Roe Ltd. remained and the Arrow flew today, Canada’s aircraft industry would be a very different thing indeed.

Our traditions are what keep families together. From a gold locket to an old photograph, these items are irreplaceable. What they hold to them are memories of those before us and moments in history that have passed. In the story, “Emperor of the Air” by Ethan Canin, an elderly man is forced to give up the one thing that his family has left behind: a two hundred year old elm tree. It holds the memories of his childhood and still shows signs of life that may still last for years to come.
