Q: Why do parts of airline names like Air, Airline, Airways, Aer, ... not get used in the headlines?
Headlines are kept as short as possible without losing information. Airline Name parts like Air, Aer, Airline, Airways, ... are therefore being omitted where the airline is unambiguously being identified nonetheless. Such parts of the airline names are used only where a potential confusion with another airline exists.

And I'm making an assumption with that statement. I'd have to look it up.
It's not like down here where a headline like "United pilots ask for more money" is unambiguous.
"Canada" is not an airline. "United" is.

That's only unambiguous if you know there's only one airline in Canada that flies the E90.

Would the average Joe? No, but that's not their audience.

Security breach YWG airport June 5
Apparently there was some type of security breach at YWG airport today. I'm currently on a flight that pushed back from the gate about 70 mins ago, was held after pushback, and returned to the gate. All checked luggage is being removed and re-screened. Looks like it'll be at least a 90+ min delay for our flight and others in a similar position. Anyone have more details on what's going on? Sounds like it must have been specific to the baggage area, as at least passengers don't have to be rescreened.

'Security incident' stops all outgoing flights from Winnipeg airport
A "security incident" involving baggage has grounded all outgoing flights from the Winnipeg James Richardson International Airport on Sunday night.
Baggage drop areas at the Winnipeg airport have also been shutdown as part of the investigation, said a spokesperson with the Winnipeg Airports Authority.

An Air Canada flight from Toronto to Barbados reportedly spent two hours on the tarmac thanks to an unruly passenger.
Flight 1966 was searched as a precautionary measure and the man has reportedly been taken into custody for questioning.

I'd heard about the pressurization incident from another thread, but I'd assumed that it was an old 767 or maybe an A330. Didn't realize that it was a nearly new 787.
Glad everyone was alright in the end.

Still FAs ought to control themselves. Makes passengers even more scared than they should.
Was it really FAs plural or one of them/
