Post says Air Canada takes top airline award

2017-06-21 09:34 ET - In the News

The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday edition that Air Canada was named the best airline in North America at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday, but chief executive officer Calin Rovinescu says there is still room for improvement. The Post's Alicja Siekierska quotes Mr. Rovinescu as saying: "It's gratifying. But that's not to say we're spiking the ball in victory. We can and will continue to make improvements." Customer service has been brought to the forefront for passengers in recent months, particularly after video footage went viral showing a passenger being dragged off a United Airlines flight after refusing to leave his seat to accommodate crew members. Last month, the government introduced new legislation that will spell out airline passenger rights and ban overbooking. Public consultations surrounding the details of the bill are expected to launch soon. Mr. Rovinescu said that the company looks forward to the bill but hopes that the government takes a "sensible approach" and applies rules similar to those seen in other countries, where the bill of rights applies to all carriers operating in the country. He said the carrier's immediate focus involves consolidating its international routes.
