Canada's flag carrier and largest airline — founded in 1937 as Trans-Canada Air Lines, HQ'd in Montréal, ~37,000 employees, 45.3M passengers in 2025, and a founding Star Alliance member. Record revenue: $22.37B CAD in 2025 ($6.27B in Q2 2026 alone, +11%), but a fuel shock (+50.8% per litre) and $388M one-off charges pushed Q2 2026 to a $178M net loss — guidance cut, though load factor (87.5%) and Aeroplan (10M+ members), Cargo (+29%) and Sixth Freedom traffic stay strong. Its moat: the most aggressive fleet renewal in its history — A321XLRs with Canada's first lie-flat seats on a narrowbody, 787-10s and A350-1000s — unlocking "thin" long-haul routes no widebody could fly (Oslo, Shannon, Basel, Dubrovnik, Guangzhou) ahead of Super Bowl 2027 and the LA 2028 Olympics.
