Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that Air Canada has been ranked as the best airline in North America in an exhaustive worldwide survey of more than 12 million air travellers.
The annual survey of air travellers was conducted by a U.K. based independent research firm, Skytrax, between June 2004 and May 2005, using 35 different aspects of passenger satisfaction for each airline's product and service standards.
The airline industry considers this independent survey as the main benchmark for world ranking according to passenger satisfaction.
As a strong supporter of Air Canada, I would like to salute Air Canada employees and the management for a job well done.
