Air Canada to Expand U.S. Flights

Air Canada has unveiled plans to launch non-stop services between four key Canadian hubs and 12 U.S. cities beginning next summer.

The new routes will introduce new destinations, such as Toronto-Washington-Dulles, Toronto-Salt Lake City and Vancouver-San Jose, while also creating new city-pair routings, such as Vancouver-Chicago, Montreal-Houston, Montreal-Denver and Calgary-San Francisco.

The new routes will be operated by Air Canada mainline, Air Canada rouge and Air Canada Express aircraft.

"These new routes will support our international expansion by making it easier for international travelers flying to and from the U.S. to connect to Air Canada's global network through its major Canadian hubs," said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada. "International travelers are increasingly finding that connecting through Canada on Air Canada is the most convenient way to fly to and from the U.S. and between the U.S. to both Europe and Asia."
