Air Canada to Launch Tokyo-Montreal Flights

Air Canada will launch non-stop flights between Montreal and Tokyo Narita, Japan on June 1, 2018, offering travellers from Atlantic Canada and northeastern U.S. convenient access to the East Asian country and beyond.

Complementing the airline’s existing Tokyo flights from Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, as well as recently launched non-stop flights from Montreal to Shanghai, Lima, North Africa, and Europe, the Tokyo-Montreal flights will operate year-round, with a daily service during the summer peak travel time and thrice weekly during the winter, with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The airline’s new trans-Pacific service from its Montreal hub is designed to optimize connectivity to several Canadian and U.S. cities, including Quebec City, Ottawa, Halifax, Charlottetown, Boston, Philadelphia, and Orlando.

Air Canada operates up to 46 non-stop return flights between Canada and Japan per week, with flights up to seven times a week between Vancouver–Tokyo Narita; double daily flights between Toronto and Tokyo Haneda and Tokyo Narita; and flights up to seven times a week between Calgary–Tokyo Narita.

“This new non-stop flight illustrates once again Air Canada’s desire to use Montreal as a strategic platform,” says Philippe Rainville, president, and chief executive officer of aéroports de Montreal. “This city-pair with Japan also greatly enhances our service for the Montreal community, since Tokyo Narita offers connections to all Japanese cities and to many destinations in Southeast Asia, the Far East, and Oceania.”
