March 21, 2002 Memo Re: Dissolution of Air Canada Partnership
Further to the financial difficulties Air Canada has been experiencing in recent years, and particularly since September, the CCA has recently informed that they will be suspending the Waiving of Excess Baggage Charges for bicycles, for CCA members, as of March 31, 2002. Officially, the partnership ended March 31, 2001, but has been continually rolling over on a monthly basis. These cutbacks are not restricted to the CCA, as all other National Sport Associations with similar agreements with Air Canada are experiencing the same cutbacks. Air Canada is in the process of re-negotiating their contracts with other National Sport Associations, where in which case it is my hope that the Waived Bicycle Fee will be put back in place for CCA members. Until then, the agreement ends March 31, 2002. All Air Canada flights taken prior to that date should honour the Waiving of the Excess Baggage charge for bicycles of CCA members. Any flights taken after March 31, 2002 will no longer benefit from the partnership. On behalf of the CCA, please accept my apologies for the eventual inconvenience this will cause. I certainly hope that Air Canada will be willing to put this agreement back in place in the near future. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I appreciate your understanding of this matter.
