CP Air replaced an early order for five Boeing 767-200s with 737-300s. The aircraft were delivered in three different color schemes; one in CP Air orange, two in "Attache" colors for full business class service and two in the pictured new Canadian Pacific colors. The type was in service for a year, with C-FCPL sold to Guinness Peat Aviation and delivered to VASP on lease in December 1986 as PP-SNU. After later leases to Markair and Frontier Airlines, it ended up with KDAvia (EI-CHH) by 2005. The airliner was impounded in Paris September 4, 2009, stored at Lasham and broken up there in 2012

The "Empress of Los Angeles" pushing back from the gate. This 737 was last of seven initialially ordered by Canadian Pacific Airlines (who would change their name to CP Air before the first aircraft arrived). Delivered March 28, 1969, the airline name would change back to Canadian Pacific in 1986 and again to Canadian Airlines in 1987. C-FCPZ was sold in May 1990.

After CP Air converted DC-10-30 "Empress of Honolulu" to an ER in 1985, it was re-christened the "Empress of Auckland". It was also one of the few aircraft to wear CP Air, Canadian Pacific and Canadian titles while in the Orange CP Air color scheme as the airline quickly morphed into Canadian Airlines during the mid 80s.

Former Orion Airways G- BGTV delivered February 27, 1980 that was leased to Haiti Air for a year before coming to Canadian Pacific Airlines in February 1986. CP Air was just returning to their original name and this color scheme was very short lived. They were bought by Pacific Western Airlines in 1987 to form Canadian Airlines International.

For a short 6 month lease this Transavia 737 only got titles, tail logo and a CP fleet number.

In 1986, CP Air reverted to it's original name and changed to this new color scheme. The Empress of Hong Kong here wore the scheme for only a short time as the airline was sold to Pacific Western Airlines in 1987 to form Canadian Airlines International.

Originally G-BHVG of Orion Airways, this 737 was in Canada for a relatively short time. First with Eastern Provincial Airways on lease from ILFC in 1985 and leaving from Canadian Airlines in 1989. The "Empress of Labrador" is behind the old CP Air hangar showing the French side of the bi-lingual titles for Canadian Pacific Airlines.

C-FCRB was delivered to Canadian Pacific in May 1986. It had the airline name and aircraft name in French on the port side and English on the other. This was the reverse of sister ship C-FCRA.
