Find sources: "Colonial Airlines" Canada – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR Nominator: Please consider notifying the author/project: {{subst:proposed deletion notify|Colonial Airlines (Canada)|concern=There has never been any such airline. This article refers to a Canadian airline that merged with a US airline, [[Eastern Air Lines]] (such things don't happen - Canadian airlines and US airlines are not permitted to merge because both countries require that their airlines remain under the control of their own citizens). It is also clearly a duplicate of the article for [[Colonial Airlines]] - an airline that did exist. Look at the destination list for instance. Prior to 1942, there were American and Canadian airlines with the same name - Canadian Colonial Airways. Yes, the US carrier was also, confusingly, called Canadian Colonial Airways. The American version was the parent, the Canadian version was the 100% subsidiary. In 1942, two things happened - the Canadian version ceased operations and the US version was renamed to Colonial Airlines. There was no Canadian version of "Colonial Airlines". Not surprisingly, some secondary sources are confused about this.}} ~~~~ |
