As the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are set to begin, Air Canada has launched a new brand spot.
The brand spot features Team Air Canada Athlete Ambassador Tyler McGregor, captain of Canada’s Para ice hockey team, as he prepares for the Games in Italy.
Canada’s Athletes from Preparation to Performance
Through the employee-driven Going for Gold program, Air Canada is supporting 750 athletes, coaches and delegation members on their journey to and from Italy.
People across the airline are set to co-ordinate athlete travel and support in handling the sports equipment, which involves more than 10,000 employees.
Moreover, Air Canada has been serving the team as the Official Airline of the Canadian Olympic team since 2007.
The Countdown for winter Olympics Begins
Team Canada is prepared to represent their country at Milano Cortina. They will be welcomed by the Air Canada employees at the YUL Montréal-Trudeau airport at the send-off event.
This event will feature live entertainment and interactive experiences before the team departs for Italy.
“Every journey to the Games carries the pride of an entire country – and for us, that responsibility goes beyond getting Team Canada to the start line, As the official airline of Team Canada, we’re honored to support Olympians and Paralympians on their way to Milano Cortina 2026, and proud to bring fans along through stories, behind-the-scenes content, and experiences that put Canadians at the centre of the action,” said Boulerice.
Inspired by Team Air Canada Athletes Ambassadors’ favourite destination, Air Canada will be launching a national contest, offering the public the chance to win trips.
As the countdown for the winter Olympics and Paralympics begins, Air Canada has ensured that its team gets the support to do their best at the games. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below!
