Air Canada is launching new seasonal service between Toronto and Santo Domingo as the airline continues rebuilding its North American network.

The new flights to the capital of the Dominican Republic will operate twice weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning December 16 onboard Air Canada Rouge aircraft.

Guests can choose from Premium Rouge and Economy services, while enjoying product enhancements including upgraded streaming entertainment and the option to purchase high-speed wi-fi.

"As travel restrictions ease, we are committed to rebuilding our international network to connect the world to Canada, reunite people with families, friends, and business colleagues," said Mark Galardo, SVP, Network Planning and Revenue Management .

"Our Santo Domingo flights connect to and from our flights across Canada at our Toronto global hub to offer easy and convenient access to Dominican Republic's capital city, a destination steeped in rich culture and history including location of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in addition to being the country's commercial and financial centre."

Flight AC1722 will depart YYZ at 09:05 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, arriving SDQ and 14:25. Return flight AC1723 will leave SDQ Tuesdays and Thursdays at 15:40, arriving back in Toronto at 19:15.

"We are delighted to receive at SDQ this new direct flight from YYZ with Air Canada, which will allow more Canadian tourists to visit the magnificent hotels and the wide variety of recreation and entertainment options the Dominican Republic has to offer," said Fabien Gourdon, Chief Commercial Officer of Aerodom.

"This route will also serve the growing business and visiting friends and relatives demand; and will allow to expand the growing cargo exchange between both countries," Gourdon added.
