Air Canada Adds Asian Routes for Summer

Air Canada has launched a new international route from Vancouver to Nagoya, part of the airline’s plan to launch 11 new international non-stop routes this summer from Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, offering a wide range of flight options for business travellers flying north during summer.

Two of the 11 new routes, Vancouver-Taipei and Toronto-Mumbai, will continue to operate year-round while the others are available for the summer season. Seasonal route from Vancouver to Nagoya will operate four times weekly with a Boeing 767-300ER; daily flights from Vancouver to Taipei will fly year-round with a Boeing 787-9; and the year-round Toronto-Mumbai route will operate with a Boeing 787-9, four times weekly, from July 1, 2017.

These international additions to Air Canada’s network follow on new transborder routes started this year from Vancouver to Boston, Denver, and Dallas; from Toronto to Savannah, San Antonio, and Memphis and Montreal to Dallas; and from Montreal to Washington Dulles.

“Nothing says summer like winging off to an exciting foreign destination, and Air Canada is pleased to offer its customers more options than ever this year,” says Benjamin Smith, president, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada. “Through our ongoing international expansion, we are adding 11 new routes touching three continents beginning this summer. This includes exciting destinations in Asia, such as Mumbai, Taipei and Nagoya; new cities in Europe, including Berlin, Marseille, and Reykjavik; and our second city in Africa, Algiers.”
