Example of a uniform worn by an employee of Air Canada, Canada's national airline since the mid-twentieth century. Air Canada was originally called Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) and was formed by the Canadian National Railways. The company launched its first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. On January 1, 1965, its name was changed to Air Canada. This uniform was the winter version of the uniform issued for passenger agents and ground host/hostess in 1969. The complete summer uniform consisted of a Medium Green jacket, pale green shirt, and green trousers, and a choice of two ties, striped in blending shades of green and gold. For outerwear, the uniform included a topcoat in "Air Canada Bronze". [Ref. 1] - Function
