"Air Canada Bumped For Hockey Gold"
CP: The country's largest airline has learned it sometimes has to take a back seat to hockey, the head of Air Canada said. The airline was forced to delay a flight from Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games because passengers watching the end of the gold medal game final on airport televisions ignored repeated calls to board.
"We incurred a flight delay for a reason Air Canada had not encountered in over 72 years of existance," chief executive Calin Rovinescu told a business gathering. The Canadian fans were rewarded for their delay, as the nail-biting end to the Olympics saw Canada beat archrival USA 3-2 in overtime.
Smile! Go Canada
