CP Air brought jet service with the Boeing 737 to smaller routes that went back to the beginnings of Canadian Pacific Airlines. Some routes in British Colombia were transferred to Pacific Western Airlines in 1969, those that remained were known as the BC District within the airline (and included connection airports in Alberta and the Yukon). CF-CPD was sold to PEOPLExpress in 1982 (N433PE) and merged with Continental Airlines in 1987 (N16232 after 1989). The aircraft was withdrawn in 1998 and later broken up.

Taxiing in on a gray day, this 737 was delivered to CP Air on December 1, 1968. It would be sold to PEOPLExpress as N433PE in December 1982. The first five 737s delivered to CP Air would go to PEOPLExpress between November 1982 and May 1983. This one would also move on to Continental Airlines when they merged PEOPLExpress in February 1987. Retired in 1990, the aircraft was broken up for parts.
