09:46 ET--Air Canada's corporate demand for transatlantic and transpacific flights could be a sign of broader economic diversification efforts. In a call to investors, CEO Michael Rousseau says "we're seeing a lot of corporate demand growth on the North Atlantic. We've seen almost a 30% increase in the amount of corporate traffic going to Europe and the Pacific," he says. Given trade tensions with the U.S. that began last year, Canada has looked to diversify its trade relations away from the U.S., its historically largest trade partner. "We attribute part of that to the fact that Canada is looking to diversify trade corridors," Rousseau says. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
