Air Canada president and CEO Michael Rousseau will retire after fallout over English-only message released on the airline’s deadly LaGuardia Airport crash.
Air Canada president and CEO Michael Rousseau announced he is retiring after being embroiled in controversy over issuing an English-only message in the wake of the airline’s Flight 8646 crash in New York.
The Air Canada flight from Montreal collided with a fire truck while landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport last week, killing both pilots, Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther, and sending 41 others to the hospital.
