Halifax-Newark, Vancouver-Houston flights convenient for
customers
MONTREAL, Oct. 3, 2022
/CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada today announced new, daily
transborder flights between Halifax-and-Newark and Vancouver-and-Houston. The year-round routes will start in
December and conveniently link these major urban markets, as well
as provide easy onward connections through Air Canada's and its
partner United Airlines' global networks.
"With these new routes from Halifax and Vancouver, Air Canada is meeting demand in
these important markets and building on our strengthened
trans-border partnership with United Airlines to solidify our
leadership in the Canada-U.S. market," said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President, Network
Planning and Revenue Management at Air Canada. "These routes will
give customers in Atlantic and Western
Canada more convenient options for flying to the U.S. They
will reinforce the already strong links between Atlantic Canada and New York, while for customers in Western Canada they will provide more options
for reaching destinations in Latin
America and the Caribbean
through United Airlines' Houston
hub. They will also facilitate many new one-stop connections from
the U.S. onto Air Canada's extensive domestic and global
network."
Air Canada is the foreign
carrier with the largest number of flights to the U.S. Including
these new routes, Air Canada's U.S. network will be 6 per cent
above its 2019, pre-pandemic capacity for the summer season of
2023. It serves 51 U.S. airports.
