Every month, an airline printed advertisement, minus airline name and logo, is displayed for your guessing pleasure on Guess The Airline. The following is the answer to a previous game.
The response rate has been overwhelming this month. I thought it was because the game was presumably simple this month. Nah. It was more because a lot of Canadians felt compelled to participate, as this was obviously an ad for a Canadian airline! We remind you this was a magazine ad published in a BTA (British Tourist Authority) promotional publication in Canada in 1993. Ready? Scroll down!
How to guess it?
A lot of people mentioned the goose, which they believed was a reference to this airline’s former goose logotype (when it was known as Canadian Pacific) … and final logotype (the blue Proud Goose image, before the merger with Air Canada.) However this ad was from 1993 so it should not have been a clue. This is why people who said Canadian Pacific or CP Air got a reply from the author saying: “Not quite!”. Besides, the Canada Goose is merely an icon for the country itself. The real clues were behind the slogan: “The Dawn of Civilized Air Travel”, which could be found in a quiz previously displayed on airodyssey.net. Also, the text mentions this airline is the only Canadian airline to fly to five continents.
