Meanwhile forward bookings for Air Canada’s transatlantic routes are going gangbusters, says Guillemette.
“The transatlantic market for this summer is going to be very, very solid. Talk about pent-up demand … that’s one of the markets where we’ve seen it the most.”

Guillemette is also looking forward to the return of the corporate market.
The meteoric rise of Zoom and other video conferencing platforms aside, corporate travel has been showing “encouraging signs” for Air Canada since April, she says.

“We’re thinking that by Labour Day, we won’t be 100% of 2019, but we should have a meaningful return of corporate,” she says.
