Canada: Canadian Pacific Airlines was created in 1942, and became known as CP Air. On March 27, 1987, Canadian Pacific Airlines, Eastern Provincial Airways, Nordair and Pacific Western Airlines amalgamated to form Canadian International Airlines. On March 31, 1989, Canadian Airlines purchased Wardair. From 1987, Canadian International was the second largest airline after Air Canada. After years of financial difficulties, Canadian International was purchased by Air Canada in 2001.
