Air Canada has announced new daily transborder flights between Halifax-and-Newark and Vancouver-and-Houston. The year-round routes will launch in December.
"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, Air Canada's SVP Network Planning and Revenue Management.
"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."
Including these new routes, Air Canada's U.S. network will be 6% above its 2019, pre-pandemic capacity for the summer season of 2023. It serves 51 U.S. airports.

The new, year-round daily Air Canada Vancouver-Houston route will also take flight on December 16. It will be operated with an Air Canada Airbus A220, offering Business and Economy cabins.
