Air Canada announces the launch of several new destinations from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver: São Paulo, Auckland, Honolulu and Quito!
It is always interesting to see new destinations being served from Canada! And in recent years, Air Canada has been busy unveiling more and more international services! Who would have imagined traveling directly from Montreal to Tokyo 5 years ago?
The company has made a change by no longer concentrating all its international flights on Toronto only.
Its growth is now also based on its other Canadian airports: Montreal (YUL), Vancouver (YYZ), and to a lesser extent Calgary (YYC). For example, here are the lines announced today:
This change is due in particular to the arrival in its fleet of economic aircraft such as the Dreamliner, which allows it to gradually move away from the notion of “hub” by connecting “secondary” cities…
…and the expansion of its leisure airline: Air Canada Rouge.
Great news for Montreal: the opening of a seasonal route between Montreal and São Paulo, which will be operated by a Dreamliner B787-9, between December 11, 2019 and March 27, 2020!
This will allow travelers from the Montreal / Quebec area (but also from the North-East of the United States) to visit Brazil more easily during the summer season… and for Brazilians to come and discover winter in Canada!
3 flights will be operated per week:
For the launch, special fares are available starting at only $600 roundtrip!
