Air Canada launched a discount airlines called Air Tango, or, Air Canada Tango in the year 2001. The main mission of Air Canada in establishing this potential airlines service was to present an affordable traveling package having low flight costs in order to increase the customer traffic for Air Canada at the ticket selling counters of the terminals.
Another measure was to introduce no-frills service in some of the routes of Air Canada Tango that can surely reduce the operating costs increasing the number of passengers. A no-frills service is such a subsidized airlines service that excludes certain non essentialities like media entertainment, comprehensive guide coverage of the whole course of flight and free hard drinks in the cabin.
Air Tango is based in Toronto, the capital city of the state of Ontario and also the capital of the Republic of Canada. About Air Tango, the name coined by the Air Canada, it can be said that Tango is the short form of Tan and Go indicating the southern warmer destinations for which they schedule flights in the winter time. From the early days the Air Tango being the brainchild of Air Canada found a very potential market in organizing affordable flights to the summer destinations all throughout the winter.
