Air Canada to Launch Daily Halifax-Newark and
Vancouver-Houston Flights
(05/10/22)
Air Canada has unveiled plans to launch daily transborder flights between Halifax and Newark and
Vancouver - Houston.
The year-round routes will start in
December are timed to provide easy onward connections through Air Canada's and United Airlines' global networks.
"With these new routes from Halifax and Vancouver,
Air Canada is meeting demand in these important markets and
building on our strengthened trans-border partnership with United
Airlines to solidify our leadership in the Canada-U.S. market,"
said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President, Network Planning and
Revenue Management at Air Canada. "The routes will give
customers in Atlantic and Western Canada more convenient options
for flying to the U.S. and will reinforce the already strong
links between Atlantic Canada and New York, while for customers in
Western Canada they will provide more options for reaching
destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean through United
Airlines' Houston hub. They will also facilitate many new one-stop
connections from the U.S. onto Air Canada's extensive domestic and
global network."
Air Canada's new, year-round Halifax-Newark route
will begin 16 December 2022. It will operate daily with an Air
Canada Express Q400 in an all-Economy cabin configuration.
The
non-stop service is timed to connect conveniently to and from
regional centres in Atlantic Canada and, in the U.S., with a
variety of destinations through United Airlines' network.
Vancouver-Houston
Air Canada's new, year-round Vancouver-Houston
route will also begin 16 December 2022 and will be operated daily with
an Air Canada Airbus A220, offering Business and Economy cabins.
The non-stop service provides increased options from Western
Canada to Texas and connections onward through United Airlines to
Latin America and the Caribbean, while providing new convenient
one-stop connections from the U.S. to Air Canada's Asia-Pacific
network from the airline's Vancouver hub.
Including the new routes outlined above, Air
Canada's U.S. network will be 6% above what it was in 2019,
pre-pandemic capacity for the summer season of 2023. The airline serves 51
U.S. airports.
All flights provide for Aeroplan accumulation and
redemption and, where available, for eligible customers and
Aeroplan members, priority check-in, Maple Leaf Lounge access,
priority boarding and other benefits.
