ACE Aviation Holdings Inc. is a Canadian holding company that is the former parent company of Air Canada. It is headquartered in Montreal.
History
ACE Aviation Holdings Incorporated was created as Air Canada emerged from bankruptcy in 2004. One of the more significant changes was the merging of its six small airlines into Air Canada and Air Canada Jazz.
The company planned a wind up and distribute its assets back to its shareholders by no earlier than mid-2013. While most of the core aviation assets have been disposed of the corporate website continues to operate until all assets are fully disposed of. The company no longer has a board and executive with all liquidation being managed by outside party Ernst and Young and ACE Holdings maintains a head office at Tour CIBC in downtown Montreal.
