THE ONGOING TRANSFORMATION TO BECOMING A GLOBAL CHAMPION Nearly six years ago, Air Canada was coming off of the two worst years in global aviation: Fuel was spike at $140/barrel and maintained around $100/barrel Air Canada had lost over $1 billion net Our pension plan deficit exceeded $4 billion and our stock was less than $1 dollar Many Canadians had already written off Air Canada, and other major Canadian companies following the Great Recession that began with the 2008 Wall Street collapse Air Canada took this as an opportunity to transform 6
THE PLAN To transform Air Canada we needed to focus on: Cost/Sustainability International Growth Customer Engagement Internal Culture Change 7
TODAY COST AND SUSTAINABILITY 2015 revenue of $14 billion a growth of 40% from 2010 2015 earnings of $2.5 billion - a growth of 270% from 2009 when we earned $679 million Our pension now has a surplus of $1.3 billion versus a deficit of $2.7 billion from the end of 2009 2015 was our most profitable with a adjusted net income of $1.2 billion Today shares are 800% higher than in 2009 And according to Statistics Canada, all this was done while keeping domestic airfares at a six year low 1 On average, international fares increased by only 60 cents 1 1. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/trans02a-eng.htm 8
WE MUST BE SUSTAINABLE IT IS GOOD BUSINESS Air Canada has to be sustainable to provide quality service to customers and value to shareholders If fares are increasing, it is because taxes and fees collected by us for the government and third parties. The OECD ranks Canada as having the fifth highest cost structure in air transportation in the world Recent fuel tax increase in Ontario is one example Local officials, businesses and travelers must register these concerns with Federal and Provincial officials 9

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH Newly launched routes include: Athens, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Delhi, Dubai, Edinburgh, Tokyo/Hanaeda, Istanbul, Manchester, Rio De Janeiro and Venice New Summer 2016 routes include: Glasgow, Budapest, Warsaw and Prague 11
INTERNATIONAL GROWTH We are focused on growing our Global Hubs across Canada, particularly in Toronto The International Air Transport Association projects an annual 3.8% increase in air transport demand until it reaches 7 billion passengers by 2034 This is DOUBLE the amount from 2015 We need to capture a portion of this growing market This year a total of 90% of our growth will be in international markets Even capturing 1.5% of US traffic and transiting through our Canadian hubs would add 1.68 million passengers per year to our network This would translate into $605 million in incremental value 12
