Air Transat, Best Canadian carrier

Air Transat, named World's Best Leisure Airline in 2018, is standing out once again among travellers, who have rated it the top Canadian carrier in Protégez-Vous magazine's airlines ranking. Air Transat is in fourth place among the 11 carriers evaluated.

Protégez-Vous compiled its best airlines ranking based on an online survey conducted October 5-12, 2018, among 2,513 respondents who evaluated various aspects of their flying experiences in the previous two years, including the ticket-buying and seat-booking process, pre-flight welcome, staff courteousness, inflight service, aircraft cleanliness, entertainment and meals available and value for money. The ranking also takes into account flight on-time performance

Air Canada gets an award

I needed a photo to accompany the adjacent text.  I specialize in outdoor photos, so it was just natural for me to head off to the airport looking for an Air Canada plane to photograph.  I got this shot of an Air Canada Express plane painted in the new Air Canada colors as it was approaching the airport to land.

Air Canada was today named Best Airline in North America by the 2017 Skytrax World Airline Awards at the International Paris Air Show.

 It is the sixth time in eight years Canada's flag carrier has been named the continent's best airline by Skytrax, whose survey of almost 20 million air travellers is recognized as the global benchmark of industry excellence.
