June 18, 2013 - Air Canada has committed to a 15-year OnPointSM solution agreement for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of its GEnx-1B engines that power its Boeing 787 aircraft.

After being stripped to its aluminum base, painters applied primer, two coats of white and finally used massive stencils to spray on the airline's distinct red and burgundy branding -- about 70 gallons of paint were used over nearly eight days to complete the painting.

Air Canada CEO Calin Rovinescu's total compensation more than doubled to $9.5 million in 2012 thanks to a $5-million retention bonus.

With its inaugural flight just over a month away Canadian flag carrier's Air Canada rouge unit said it is taking a differentiated approach to leisure travel by focusing on customer service excellence through customised training and stylishly relaxed onboard apparel.

Giving the freedom of travel is now easier than ever with the launch today of the Air Canada Gift Card.

Join the team! Air Canada rouge will soon graduate its first 150 flight attendants and will hire, on average, another 25-40 flight attendants every month over the next three years as the airline quickly grows.
