AC launches contest to name its new low cost carrier

Air Canada has launched a contest to help name its new low-cost leisure airline that will begin service in 2013. The carrier is asking customers and travel agents to visit Air Canada’s Facebook page to submit their suggestions. Entrants become eligible to win one of three Air Canada Vacations’ gift certificates each valued at $1,500 towards a holiday package vacation courtesy of Air Canada Vacations. Winners will be selected from among the entries selected by Air Canada as most closely reflecting the new leisure carrier. The contest kicks off today and runs until Oct. 21.
