Air Canada and Dreams Take Flight returned to the sky during April 2023 for the first time since 2020 with a plane load of children from Winnipeg to Florida to experience a trip-of-a-lifetime.

Thanks to generous volunteers, Air Canada employees and retirees, the support of the Air Canada Foundation and work by the Dreams Take Flight organization.

Eight flights will operate this year, making dreams come true for an estimated 1,000 children with an unforgettable day at a theme park in Florida or California.

The flight from Winnipeg left in the early hours of the morning and transported 110 kids to Orlando, accompanied by a crew of Air Canada employee volunteers focused on creating the most magical experience possible.

Seven additional flights from across Canada will depart from Halifax, Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Ottawa between April and November 2023.

Air Canada has opened a brand-new Maple Leaf Lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the airline's 28th lounge worldwide, and its third Maple Leaf Lounge in the USA.

Located in Terminal 2, the lounge was designed with San Francisco-based architectural firm Gensler, and is the airline's first to have an expansive outdoor terrace with aircraft and runway views, and featuring two vapor fireplaces produced by Canadian company CF + D.
