 Trans-Canada Air Lines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trans-Canada Air Lines (also TCA in English, and Air Canada in French) was a Canadian airline and operated as the country's flag carrier.
In 1964, an act of Parliament proposed by Jean Chrétien changed the name of Trans-Canada Air Lines to "Air Canada", which was already in use as the airline's French-language name, effective January 1, 1965.
By the late 1970s, Air Canada was divested by parent CN, and the airline became a separate Crown corporation and was privatized in 1989.

 Canadian Pacific Airlines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canadian Pacific Airlines, also called CP Air, was a Canadian airline that operated from 1942 to 1987.
While this was a condition that was pressed by CP Air for a long time, it now scrambled to upgrade its fleet to expand on newly available routes and prepare for increased competition from Air Canada in its traditional territory.
In addition, on June 23, 1985 a piece of luggage that had come from CP Air 3 exploded as it was being transferred to Air India Flight 301; the explosion killed two baggage handlers (Hideo Asano and Hideharu Koda) in Narita and injured four other people.

 Hot air balloon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hot air balloons that can be propelled through the air rather than just being carried along by the wind are known as airships or, more specifically, thermal airships.
Suspended beneath is the gondola or wicker basket (in certain, long distance or high altitude balloons, a capsule) which carries a source of heat capable of producing a sufficient temperature gradient between the air inside the envelope and the surrounding air mass to give enough lift to keep the balloon and its passengers aloft.
The amount of lift (or buoyancy) provided by a hot air balloon depends primarily upon the difference between the temperature of the air inside the envelope and the temperature of the air outside the envelope.

Canadian Pacific Air Lines (later CP Air) was organized in 1942 with the purchase of Grant MCCONACHIE's Yukon Southern Air Transport and numerous other flying concerns.

 Freedom to Fly
Within four years of the policy's having been announced, all of the regional airlines were using jets[179] and Canadian Pacific Air Lines was an all-jet airline.
In part, the reluctance of Air Canada and Canadian Pacific Air Lines to abandon routes to the regional carriers was reinforced by their intense competition with one another on the 'trunk' routes.
Pacific Western Airlines was confined to western Canada, and the other three regional carriers shared the rest of the country.

However Canadian Pacific Air Lines are still most anxious to secure landing rights in Shanghai since there is a great volume of traffic originating from that city.
Davis, the Canadian Ambassador to China, has suggested that it might be possible for Canadian Pacific Air Lines to negotiate a purely commercial ad hoc arrangement with the new Chinese Government for a service to Shanghai.
If the situation is favourable by that time I suggest for your consideration that we might advise Canadian Pacific Air Lines to endeavour to make some sort of purely company arrangement with the Shanghai authorities.

Canadian Pacific Air Lines (CPA) started to expand, and the young airline was seeking out exceptional leaders to guide it through its toddler years of development.
McConachie had been forced to sell his Yukon Southern Air Transport company, and accepted the position of manager for the western region, based in Edmonton.
McConachie pursued the idea that CPA would be able to fly over the North Pole to Europe and to Asia, but he was opposed by Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) on this unclaimed route, and by Punch Dickens, his general manager, who placed tight controls on his plans.

Prairie Airways however, chose not to seek approval from the Canadian Dept. of Transportation to operate it on floats and during its 7 years in Canada it was never mounted on floats (nor was its sister ship, CF-BKN).
In late 1941, Canadian Pacific Air Lines (CPAL), acquired Prairie Airways and its five aircraft (two Beechcraft 18D, a Barkley-Grow T8P-1, a Cessna Airmaster and a Waco ZQC-6) for a little over half a million dollars.
Donald M. Bain in his book, Canadian Pacific Air Lines, notes that Prairie Airways found their 18D’s, “to be extremely unreliable and the Jacobs engines were referred to derisively as ‘Shakey Jakes’ ”.
