Description: Air Canada posted a profit of $168 million in the most recent quarter that ended December 31. Even with the bad weather that made for a general rough patch over the Christmas travel period, Air Canada still managed to generate positive results. Revenue was 2% higher than for the same period in 2019, indicating the airline is bouncing back somewhat from the down-trend that dates to the beginning of the SARS-Cov-2 crisis.
