According to the carrier, the new black and white design is inspired by Canada’s contrasting seasons as well as its history and wildlife.

President Benjamin Smith said the new livery also reflects a “pivotal inflection point in” the airline’s 80-year history and that it represents “that strength of our nation and the future-looking spirit of our airline”.
