Between 1990 and 2001 CAIL Canadian Airlines operated four Boeing 747-400s intercontinental wide-body jetliners on their high capacity routes between Vancouver and Asia. The registrations of the Canadian Airlines Boeing 747-400s included C-FCRA, C-FBCA, C-FGHZ and C-GMWW. The 747-400 fleet of Canadian was taken over by Air Canada when Canadian was absorbed by the Canadian flag carrier in 2001. At the time, Canadian was on the verge of bankruptcy and acquisition by Air Canada was seen as the most favourable outcome for both the staff of CAIL, and the Canadian airline industry as a whole.

In this very interesting movie compilation was put together by CAIL for promotional purposes in the early 1990s when the 747-400s were brand new to the airline. Footage in the reel includes landings, arrival sequence and follow on ground services at YVR, as well as passenger and cargo loading, and then the aircraft’s departure from Vancouver. The movie shows cockpit footage, passenger service in the cabin, and ends with a fabulous air-to-air montage filmed by Clay Lacy over Vancouver’s Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley in the early 1990s.

Here are some screen shots of this film which paid members of JetFlix TV are able to view.
