Air Canada is gearing up to fly more than one million passengers next week as summer kicks off. The airline flies to 50 destinations in Canada, and it is sharing some of what passengers can expect when they fly with Air Canada during the peak summer season.
“For many Canadians, summer vacation is when they explore, discover, and share experiences with each other, whether it’s across Canada or at historically relevant sites abroad, like Juno Beach in France, and we’re proud of the role we play in the travel lives of Canadians,” said Tom Stevens, Vice President of Customer Experience and Service Operations at Air Canada. “We’re ready for the busy summer season and our teams are focused on guiding our customers with a very real sense of Canadian pride as we share the very best of the country with the world.”
