When Air Canada's Boeing 767 flight AC840 from Toronto touched down at Manchester airport March 28, 1993 its passengers were among the first through the brand new Terminal Two.

Queen Elizabeth officially opened the new terminal March 5, and the facility opened up to scheduled passenger traffic March 28. Air Canada was among many long-haul airlines which made the switch from Terminal One to the new Terminal Two, says Airport Services Manager Chris Frost

An Air Canada Boeing 747 aircraft and a 30-member team of pilots, in-flight personnel and maintenance supervisors left Toronto for an assignment to transport Muslim pilgrims between Medan, Indonesia and Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

The two-and-a half month contract with Garuda Indonesia will see the Air Canada contingent fly 44 round trips - 10 hours each way - until July 4. They will transport some 10,000 Muslims on their religious pilgrimage. The contract generated $3 to $4 million in revenue for Air Canada.
