Mr. Milton as Aeroplan's Chairman. Mr. Milton remains Chairman, President and
CEO of ACE Aviation Holdings.
    "Robert Milton's vision and focus on surfacing value was the driving
force behind Aeroplan's evolution from a small internal division in Air
Canada's marketing department to what it is today - Canada's premier loyalty
management company with a market capitalization of over $4 billion," said
Rupert Duchesne, President and CEO, Aeroplan. "Under his leadership and with
his unwavering confidence in the largely unsurfaced value of the Aeroplan
franchise, we ignored the skeptics and boldly undertook the first ever
monetization of an airline frequent flyer program. On behalf of Aeroplan's
employees, partners and unit holders, I thank Robert for making Aeroplan an
all-round success story we can all be proud of."
    Robert E. Brown, who currently serves on the Board, will succeed

Aeroplan Board," said Mr. Duchesne. "With this track record and his extensive
experience as a corporate director, he is the right choice as Aeroplan's new
Chairman. The entire management team looks forward to working with Bob in his
new role."
