Some of the most refreshing airlines in the world operate from North America.
No matter whether these airlines originate out of Canada or the USA – here are some of the best North American airlines:
#1 Air Canada
Founded in 1937, this Star Alliance member and flag carrier for Canada is among the twenty largest airlines in the world and indeed, the country’s largest airline too. As such, it’s really no surprise that they are considered one of the top North American airlines.
And, although it has more than 200 airports across six continents, Air Canada remains one of the youngest, most fuel efficient and environmentally friendly airlines around.
