tmb 777 fin 742 vanoc olympic coloursAir Canada was a sponsor for the YVR 2010 Winter Olympics. This photo shows the most recently delivered B777 (at the time) in YVR on July 8, 2009, painted with the VANOC livery for the 2010 winter Olympics. It flew in the special livery from entry into service in 2009 until the games the following year. It was repainted in standard AC livery soon after the end of the games.

Concierges, as ambassadors for Air Canada and already in the habit of offering personalized, seamless service to Super Elites, Executive First customers and corporate VIPs, worked round the clock to assist athletes, VIPs and dignitaries with the level of service that consistently set Air Canada apart from other carriers.

Welcoming the world.

This year seven of the original 19 of the class of '46 gathered in San Francisco for a third reunion (others were held at the 25th and 30th anniversaries).

From left to right: David Young, now area manager, western U.S.; Reginald Cook, (retired); Walt Mannell, former sales rep., New York and now a Kansas City travel agent; Dick Forrest, retired AC personnel director; Bob Nicholson, AC D.M.
