Air Canada ad, “Can’t just fly in its own backyard” (1970)

Any airline that wants to be what we want to be can’t just fly in its own backyard.

Canada is not the only place we fly to.

We fly to 11 cities in Europe including Moscow (only one other North American airline flies there.)

And because we avoid East Coast airports, we can save you some time and trouble on the way over.

We fly direct to Europe from our six Canadian Shortcuts:

From Halifax. Montreal. Toronto. Winnipeg. Calgary. And Vancouver.

We can fly you down South, too. To Bermuda. And six sunny islands in the Caribbean.

In fact, we can fly you to more than 60 cities around the world.

And when we do, we’ll make you feel like you’re flying on the best airline in the world.

Which is exactly what we want to be.
