Air Canada has announced a significant expansion of its North American network for summer 2022 as the carrier's recovery from the COVID pandemic accelerates.
Canada's largest carrier will launch new service on four transborder and three domestic routes, and restore service to 41 other North American routes. With the additions, Air Canada will operate to 51 Canadian and 46 U.S airports this summer.
New services will launch to the U.S. from Montreal to Atlanta and Detroit, Toronto to Salt Lake City, and Vancouver to Austin.
Within Canada, three new routes will be inaugurated, between Montreal and Gander, Calgary and Fort St John, and Vancouver and Halifax.
Additionally, service will be restored on 41 North American routes, including: 13 routes from Toronto, nine from Montreal, five from Ottawa, five from Vancouver, four from Calgary, three from Halifax, and two from Edmonton.
The routes are timed to connect with Air Canada's domestic, U.S. and international network at the airline's global hubs in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.
"Canadians are ready to travel, and we're excited to be offering a very significant growth in our schedule this summer," said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President, Network Planning and Revenue Management.
"These changes will also grow and cement our position as the leading carrier of choice in the transborder market, with the most non-stop flying between Canada and the U.S. and as the foreign carrier with the most service to the U.S," Galardo added.
All 23 of Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounges are now open, with new features such as ordering from your seat for safety and convenience. The carrier also says it has introduced several touchless airport services designed to make the check-in and boarding process more convenient.
