Air Canada to Expand Service to Venezuela and Trinidad

Air Canada is expanding service to Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago this spring with designated, non-stop flights to each country.

"Where previously we had a single flight serving both cities, this spring we are enhancing our service by commencing separate, non-stop flights for each destination. This will result in faster travel times, better connections and overall increased ease of travel for our customers," said Daniel Shurz, Vice President of Network Planning at Air Canada.

Beginning April 6, 2008, Air Canada will launch the only non-stop service between Toronto and Caracas with flight AC075, which will depart Toronto each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 5:35 p.m. and arrive in Caracas at 10:45 p.m. AC076 will depart Caracas at 11:45 p.m. and arrive in Toronto at 5:25 a.m.

Starting April 8, 2008, Air Canada flight AC073 will depart Toronto each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 4:55 p.m. and arrive in Port of Spain at 10:25 p.m. Air Canada flight AC074 will depart Port of Spain at 11:25 p.m. and arrive in Toronto at 5:25 a.m.

Air Canada will operate both flights using a 120-seat, Airbus A319 aircraft. The aircraft offers Executive and Economy Class travel and all customers will have access to digital-quality personal seatback entertainment systems with over 200 hours of video and audio on demand, as well as standard 110 volt electrical outlets available to every seat. Travel will be eligible for Aeroplan accumulation.
