That is true. de facto. Would VARIG and Mexicana count in that case? More so the former, I would imagine.

I always thought TCA/Air Canada was the national flag carrier with CP routes it served as a passenger steamship company (at least for the Pacific). I wasn't sure about Olympic. Is the relation between the two Olympics (Airways/Airlines and Air) akin to that between Swissair and Swiss?
