January 1, 1970, a new CP Air/CP Hotels service enabled passengers to move directly from the airport to hotels without handling their luggage - a first for the airline industry. CP Air passengers (on domestic flights) with reservations at a CP Hotel can have their luggage transported from any departure point to the destination hotel room.

You're seeing CP Air’s four Expo-painted aircraft all together at Vancouver airport, right? Wrong! You’re seeing four separate airplane photos that were merged by an electronic retouching process utilizing a computer. CP Air needed such a photo to dramatically portray what the airline has done to promote Expo. However, it was simply not possible to pull the four aircraft out of their cycles to put them in one place for the photographer. So high technology was called to the rescue. It’s expected that Expo will utilize the photo extensively in its worldwide promotion. |
