offering flights to South America and no South American scheduled network carrier currently provides service to
Canada.
The expansion of major airline alliances, such as Star Alliance®, oneworld® and SkyTeam® has led to more
efficient operations in the trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific markets. In such markets, Air Canada competes primarily
with foreign network carriers and, to a lesser extent, with charter carriers on higher density routes during peak travel
seasons. In addition, U.S. network carriers compete by flying Canadian passengers through their hubs to the
international market.
Air Canada is the largest provider of scheduled passenger services in the international market to and from Canada.
Based on OAG data, during the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006, Air Canada provided more
international scheduled capacity in the international market to and from Canada than any other airline with an estimated
market share of approximately 43% based on ASMS.
The following charts illustrate (i) the estimated share of the overall international scheduled capacity provided by
Air Canada and other airlines as measured by ASMs, and (ii) the historical and projected number of international
revenue passengers per year.

THREE-YEAR SUMMARY: EVOLUTION OF BUSINESS
The Plan
On April 1, 2003 Air Canada obtained an initial order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice providing
creditor protection under the CCAA. The initial order was further amended by the Ontario Superior Court throughout
the CCAA proceedings based on motions from Air Canada, its creditors and other interested parties. On April 1, 2003,
Air Canada, through Ernst & Young Inc., its Ontario Superior Court-appointed monitor, also made a concurrent petition
for recognition and ancillary relief under Section 304 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The CCAA and U.S. proceedings
covered Air Canada and the following of its then wholly-owned subsidiaries: Jazz Air Inc., ZIP Air Inc., 3838722
Canada Inc., Air Canada Capital Ltd., Manoir International Finance Inc., Simco Leasing Ltd., and Wingco Leasing Inc.
(collectively, the "Applicants"). Aeroplan, Touram Inc. and Destina.ca were not included in the CCAA filing. These
three subsidiaries continued to deal with their creditors on a normal basis, unaffected by the CCAA and U.S.
proceedings.View entire presentation
