Air Canada started out as Trans-Canada Airlines in September'37. The inaugural flight was a 50 minute flight on a Lockheed L-10A from Vancouver to Seattle, transporting mail and a total of two passengers. The airline grew rapidly and by the year'64, Trans-Canada Airlines had become the national airline for Canada. It was then that the name was changed to Air Canada. The airline was privatized in'89. Air Canada also bought Canadian Airlines International around that time.
