The Canadian Pacific Airlines, Pacific Western Airlines and Eastern Provincial Airways integrated together to form Canadian Airlines. The chief hubs of the Canadian Airlines were Toronto Pearson International Airport, Calgary International Airport, Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and Vancouver International Airport.

The lounges of Canadian Airlines were known as Express Lounge and were located in different airports of Canada. To serve the passengers in a better fashion, the domestic network of Canadian Airlines was segregated into five parts: Canada North, Inter-Canadien Inc., Canadian Regional Airlines, Air Atlantic and Calm Air International Ltd.

In addition, the Canadian Airlines also controlled the largest tour operator of the country, Canadian Holidays.
However, later in the year 2001 due to the constant poor performance of Canadian Airlines it was taken over by the Air Canada.
