Air Canada has announced the introduction of new, year-round services between Toronto and Brussels starting May 1, 2020. Up to five weekly non-stop flights will be operated with Air Canada's Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, featuring Signature Class, Premium Economy and Economy services.
"We are pleased to launch new non-stop, year-round flights from Toronto to Brussels, complementing our successful Montreal-Brussels service now celebrating its tenth anniversary. This is a further expansion of Air Canada's reach to Europe and beyond. This new service will conveniently connect our extensive North American network through our Toronto Pearson global hub directly to Brussels, where our Star Alliance partner Brussels Airlines offers far-reaching connections throughout Europe and Africa," said Mark Galardo, Vice President of Network Planning at Air Canada.
"As the location of the European Union, NATO and numerous corporate headquarters, Brussels is a major global destination. Our new Toronto flights, together with our Montreal service, offer North American business travellers the most convenient links to this important European city. Air Canada offers a multitude of travel options between North America and Africa via Brussels, firmly demonstrating the strength of our network and partnerships in offering unparalleled customer choices."
Brussels Airlines, Belgium's home carrier and a member of the Lufthansa Group, will launch its new, non-stop seasonal service between Montréal, Quebec and Brussels, Belgium beginning in March 2020. Service will be offered five times per week between Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and Brussels Airport, offering new travel opportunities between Canada and Brussels Airlines' 17 African destinations, as well as additional connections to Europe and Israel.
"We have been serving Canada for over six decades and the ongoing expansion of our airlines serving Montreal underscores the Lufthansa Group's increasing commitment to the Quebec market, its economy and our customers," said Hans DeHaan, Senior Director of Sales Canada, Lufthansa Group. "Brussels Airlines will now be a go-to airline for Montreal-based passengers to reach the European Union Capital and key cities across the African continent, a speciality of Brussels Airlines."
