Air Canada to Expand International Network for
Summer 2023
(17/10/22)
Air Canada has unveiled plans to expand its
international network for summer 2023.
The airline is launching new European routes, resuming
the key Asia services of Toronto-Tokyo/Haneda and Vancouver-Osaka, and restoring frequencies to
leading destinations in the Atlantic, Pacific and South America regions.
The national carrier also plans to operate new
European services to Brussels, Toulouse and Copenhagen.
In Asia, Air Canada's Vancouver-Hong Kong service
will increase from thrice weekly to daily, while the
Vancouver-Seoul service will grow from five flights per week to
daily and Montreal-Tokyo
Narita flights will increase from two week per week to daily.
"We continue to pursue our disciplined approach of
expanding our global network in response to anticipated demand and
are especially pleased to be adding three new strategic routes to
Europe, resuming important services to Japan, and increasing
frequencies to key international destinations for summer 2023,"
said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President Network Planning and
Revenue Management at Air Canada.
"Toronto-Brussels will complement our current
services from Montreal, while further expanding Air Canada's reach
to Europe and beyond through our Star Alliance partner Brussels
Airlines, which offers easy connections throughout Europe and
Africa. Meanwhile, our Montreal-Toulouse route not only links two
global aerospace centres, it is the only year-round service
between North America and southwestern France. We are also
increasing our presence in Scandinavia with the addition of summer
service from Montreal to Copenhagen, a Star Alliance hub that
offers connections throughout Northern Europe, while enabling
customers on both sides of the Atlantic to visit and explore each
other's countries conveniently.
"Our additional flights to major destinations in
Europe, Middle East, South America, South Pacific and Asia,
including London Heathrow, Frankfurt and Tokyo/Haneda, will
support local tourism and hospitality sectors as customers in all
six continents reconnect, visit and explore. Customers can start
planning ahead and book with confidence. We look forward to
welcoming you onboard," said Mr. Galardo.
Air Canada's international services onboard
widebody aircraft offer a choice of three cabins: Air Canada
Signature Class featuring lie-flat individual pods, Premium
Economy.
The airline also has 23 Maple Leaf Lounges located
in North America and worldwide for eligible customers.
