Ronny83 Posted November 5, 2005 at 02:27 PM Posted November 5, 2005 at 02:27 PM Celine to the rescue That Celine Dion is a wonder woman. Because of her, millions of Americans learned for the first time that some Canadians don't speak English; she saves thousands of Las Vegas tourists nightly from about 90 minutes worth of gambling losses; and now we learn that she has even rescued an airline. It was only 18 months ago that Air Canada was one of the sick puppies of the aviation industry, in bankruptcy protection, shedding jobs and leaking cash. The business had crashed and no one could find the black box. But in an amazing turnaround, its parent, ACE Aviation Holdings, this week reported a $270-million profit for the third quarter on an 11.3-per-cent profit margin that has turned it into one of the industry's top performers. It's all very well for analysts to credit chief executive officer Robert Milton for his restructuring plan and for the way he reimagined the airline's services and fares. Whatever. It hasn't escaped our notice that the company began to take off just as it brought the Quebec diva on as its celebrity spokeswoman. No one who hears her belt out the lyrical line "you and I were meant to fly" can resist the urge to delete westjet.com from their bookmarks and head straight to Air Canada's website. The lovely Celine is almost enough to make one forget that this week, Air Canada discontinued free meals on North American flights and will now charge for food.Source: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/Art...usiness/General Quote The Celine Dion Italian fanbase - CelineDionItalia.com

Mozinha Posted November 5, 2005 at 03:11 PM Posted November 5, 2005 at 03:11 PM And I remember an interview back then and there was a employee, I think she was a flight attendant, saying Celine wouldn't change anything...

VanMerlin Posted November 7, 2005 at 05:26 PM Posted November 7, 2005 at 05:26 PM I don't know if Celine did change anything. Maybe it was the constant commercials that were on TV, using Celine's song. Was it Celine or the sudden surge of advertising that Air Canada did? I think it was the ads, and the fact that one of other most popular airlines went bankrupt - so where will those customers go now? Gee, lemme guess. But Air Canada is a terribly cheap, terribly unforgiving airline that now charges for food that most people barely even want for free, and the service on the planes is so bland... Celine should have supported a better airline. Quote
Mozinha Posted November 7, 2005 at 08:25 PM Posted November 7, 2005 at 08:25 PM Celine reached out for help for a airline that needed help. That's what counts.And she did make a difference. Not just the commercials. Remember there was a lot of TV shows about her going to support the airline. This helped too...
