Air Canada to Carry Canada's Top Professional Hockey Teams

Good Afternoon All:

Just read this Canada News Wire article of March 17th regarding AC Jetz being awarded this contract.

Go Sens Go!

Air Canada Jetz signed to six-year contract with six of Canada's major teams
MONTREAL, March 17, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada proudly announced today that it is the airline of choice for Canada's major professional hockey teams. Under six-year agreements with six of Canada's best professional teams, the airline will provide air transportation through Air Canada Jetz, its in-house, all-Premium Class charter service operated by mainline Air Canada pilots and flight attendants.
"Every franchise needs a star performer to carry it to victory and Air Canada is proud to have been drafted for this role by six of Canada's top pro teams. These agreements reflect the fact that the teams recognize not only Air Canada's reliability but also the superior service offered by Jetz, with such amenities as all-Premium Class seating, dedicated mainline Air Canada crews offering specialized service, in-flight Wifi and the many other benefits enjoyed by Air Canada premium customers. Hockey is Canada's game and as Canada's flag carrier we are pleased to be carrying Canada's best professional teams," said Benjamin Smith, President of Passenger Airlines at Air Canada.
The six-year agreements begin at the start of the 2015-16 season and cover the Montreal Canadiens, the Ottawa Senators, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Winnipeg Jets, the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks. The service will be operated by Jetz, Air Canada's in-house charter carrier, which uses Airbus A319 aircraft outfitted with 58-Premium Class seats to offer extra legroom and a private jet-like experience. In addition to the six Canadian teams, Jetz also provides air transport services to the Colorado Avalanche.

Excellent news!

Couldn't believe the Canadiens were using a U.S. chater company!

I don't know Donkey497, I too am a Leafs fan but I've been hurt too much by the Leafs to notice it coming from anywhere else. Besides, I'm just sad that standbykid got in first.

But...I guess the good news for us TML fans is that at least if any other Canadian team wins the cup, there will be a maple leaf loud and proud on the tail!
