Air Canada has announced an expanded international network for summer 2023, with the addition of new four-times weekly European services to Brussels, Toulouse and Copenhagen.

The summer schedule will also see AC resuming key Asia services from Toronto to Tokyo-Haneda (daily, year-round) and Vancouver to Osaka (seasonal, four times weekly), and restoring frequencies to leading destinations in the Atlantic, Pacific and South America regions.

"We continue to pursue our disciplined approach of expanding our global network in response to anticipated demand. We are especially pleased to be adding three new strategic routes to Europe, resuming important services to Japan, and increasing frequencies to key international destinations for summer 2023," said Mark Galardo, AC's SVP Network Planning and Revenue Management.

"Toronto-Brussels will complement our current services from Montreal, while further expanding Air Canada's reach to Europe and beyond through our Star Alliance partner Brussels Airlines," Galardo added. "Meanwhile, our Montreal-Toulouse route not only links two global aerospace centres, it is the only year-round service between North America and southwestern France."

AC is also boosting its presence in Scandinavia with the addition of summer service from Montreal to Copenhagen (four times weekly), a Star Alliance hub that offers connections throughout Northern Europe.

"Our additional flights to major destinations in Europe, Middle East, South America, South Pacific and Asia, including London Heathrow, Frankfurt and Tokyo/Haneda, will support local tourism and hospitality sectors as customers in all six continents reconnect, visit and explore. Customers can start planning ahead and book with confidence. We look forward to welcoming you onboard," said Galardo.

The Air Canada schedule will also see higher international route frequencies for the peak summer 2023 season compared to summer 2022. From Toronto, there will be more flights to London Heathrow, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Madrid, Dubai and Tokyo Narita.

From Montreal, there will be more frequent flights to Frankfurt, Geneva, Nice, Tel Aviv, Algiers, Sao Paulo and Tokyo Narita. From Vancouver, more flights will takeoff to Brisbane, Hong Kong and Seoul.

Air Canada's international services on widebody aircraft offer a choice of three cabins: Air Canada Signature Class featuring lie-flat individual pods, Premium Economy featuring larger seats with additional leg room and premium services, and Economy featuring complimentary Chef-inspired and designed meals, wines and beverages.

All cabins have inflight entertainment screens at every seat with hours of complimentary onboard entertainment and the opportunity to purchase wi-fi connectivity.
