| FLash | Air Canada forecasts Q3 operating income of $235M, up from $17M
Air Canada's parent company is forecasting third-quarter operating income of $235 million, up from $17 million a year ago, for the formerly insolvent airline. ACE Aviation Holdings Inc. said Friday it will release Air Canada's financial statement by Nov. 15. The estimate of $235 million, before reorganization and restructuring costs, ``represents a major improvement'' over last year's third quarter, ACE Aviation (TSX:ACE) said in a release. Weighed down by debt, Montreal-based Air Canada operated under bankruptcy-court protection for 18 months until Sept. 30, spending that time to slash payrolls, renegotiate contracts and find new investors. Its previous shares were rendered worthless. |

| FLash | Investigators find flight data recorder of cargo jet that crashed in Halifax
Investigators have found the flight data recorder of a cargo jet that crashed at the Halifax airport last week, putting them another step closer to understanding what caused the fiery accident that claimed seven lives. The recorder was found amidst the plane's wreckage Sunday, said Bill Fowler, an investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. ``As we are speaking, (the recorder) is being recovered from the accident site,'' he said. ``Obviously, this is an important milestone in the investigation.'' All seven crew members on board the Boeing 747-200 jet operated by MK Airlines of Britain were killed early last Thursday when its takeoff failed and it crashed into a wooded area near the airport. |
