Aerocycle wishes to congratulate Air Transat on winning two Mercure awards — for Large Business of the Year and for Sustainable Development — at the Mercuriades awards gala, in recognition of its program for green dismantling of end-of-life aircraft.

Organized by the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec, the gala rewards the visionary spirit, daring and know-how of companies that contribute to development in Quebec and its regions. Winning companies are inspiring models of success for the next generation of businesspeople as well as all players in the Quebec economy.
