The Air Canada leadership team is profoundly grateful for their hard work and professionalism, which is a source of great pride for the people of Air Canada. These awards also validate our decision to make substantial investments in industry-leading on-board comforts such as lie flat suites in Executive First, personal entertainment systems at every seat throughout our aircraft and the development of our Concierge program for our Super Elite customers," said Calin Rovinescu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada. "Our customers clearly appreciate the Air Canada experience, particularly the readers of Business Traveler, who fly on a range of leading global carriers and have chosen Air Canada as the best among its peers. Thank you to all of our employees who made it happen." 

Air Canada has been voted by the readers of Business Traveler as offering the Best In-Flight Services in North America, the Best North American Airline for Business Class Service, and the Best North American Airline for International Travel - all for the second year in a row. This year, Air Canada was also recognized as having the Best Flight Attendants in North America. Earlier this month, Air Canada was honoured by another influential business travel magazine when Global Traveler named Air Canada the Best Airline in North America and Best Airline in Canada. 

Results of the 21st annual "Best in Business Travel" awards were revealed at a ceremony last night in Los Angeles. Business Traveler is one of the world's leading authorities on business travel and the awards were based on a readership survey by the magazine, which publishes 10 editions worldwide and has more than 500,000 readers.
