Air Canada Celebrates its Circle of Excellence Platinum Members

Air Canada recognized the efforts of its Circle of Excellence Platinum partners at the Toronto’s iconic Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto last night and thanking them for all of their efforts.

Vincent Gauthier-Dore, Managing Director Canada and US Sales for Air Canada, told Travel Press Today that the evening was about both recognizing and thanking its trade partners that have shown the highest level of loyalty and partnership.

Air Canada’s Circle of Excellence program was originally started in Canada and is now a worldwide program using a range of criteria to recognize travel agencies for their loyalty to Air Canada in a range of areas. The Circle of Excellence has four levels – Bronze, Silver, Gold and, the top level, Platinum – and currently, there are 450 Canadian travel agencies who are members of the program.

Last night (Sept. 22), Air Canada celebrated the achievements of 47 Circle of Excellence Platinum members, presenting each with an award trophy.

Gauthier-Dore told the gathering that “what truly stands out is the partnership we’ve built – you’re not just agency partners, but you are part of the Air Canada family.”

And he concluded: “Thanks for your partnership, we’re proud to work with you.”
