A Long Time Ago, In the Sky!

Air Canada started a super long time ago, way back in 1937, when it was called Trans-Canada Air Lines. It was like a baby airplane company then! It began flying people across Canada in 1938. Later, in 1965, it got its new name, Air Canada. It grew and grew, and now it's one of the biggest airlines, carrying millions of people every year, which is more people than can fit in a giant stadium!
