Air Canada Launches Toronto - London Gatwick Flights

Air Canada has launched non-stop flights between Toronto and London Gatwick.

Flights will be operated with an Air Canada rouge Boeing 767-300ER, featuring premium and economy cabins.

The service has commenced with six weekly flights, though that will increase to daily from 1 June to 26 September 2016.

All flights provide for Aeroplan accumulation and redemption and, for eligible customers, priority check-in, Maple Leaf Lounge access, priority boarding and other benefits.

"London-Heathrow is already Air Canada's largest international gateway with flights to eight Canadian cities, so we are pleased to expand to London-Gatwick in time for the summer, when millions of vacationers are travelling between Canada and the U.K.," said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada. "With this new route, we become the only Canadian carrier serving the two largest airports in the London metropolitan region, which further solidifies our already market-leading position as the airline operating the most seats between Canada and U.K."

The new Toronto to London-Gatwick service is part of Air Canada's ongoing international expansion.

Beginning this summer, Air Canada will also launch new international services between Toronto-Prague, Toronto-Budapest, Toronto-Warsaw, Toronto-Glasgow, Toronto-Seoul, Montreal-Casablanca, Montreal-Lyon, Vancouver-Brisbane and Vancouver-Dublin. Last year, Air Canada launched new international services between Toronto-Delhi, Toronto-Amsterdam, Toronto-Dubai, Montreal-Venice, Montreal-Mexico City and Vancouver-Osaka.
