Air Canada has launched the only Montréal-Phoenix non-stop flights. The seasonal service, operating Saturdays and Sundays until April 30th offers flights timed to facilitate connections to/from Ottawa, Québec City, Saint John, Fredericton, Halifax and Charlottetown.
In addition, Air Canada has added a daily flight until April 30th to its existing year-round daily Toronto-Phoenix service. During the winter Air Canada also operates daily Calgary-Phoenix service.
"Air Canada is solidifying its position as the leading carrier to Arizona by increasing capacity by close to 50% in 2011 to this popular destination," said Marcel Forget Vice President, Network Planning, Air Canada. "These additional flights to the U.S. allow Air Canada to offer customers even more choice as the leading transborder carrier between Canada and the U.S. and the Number One foreign carrier flying to the United States -- with the most flights per day to more destinations in the U.S. than any other international airline."
"Canada represents our fastest-growing international market, and we welcome Air Canada's decision to invest in additional air service at Phoenix Sky Harbor," said Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. "Phoenix would like to thank the Canada Arizona Business Council for its support of this important new service.
Additional non-stop service between Canada and Arizona only strengthens the business and cultural ties between our regions."
The carrier will operate the Montréal and Toronto services using newly refurbished 120-seat Airbus A319 aircraft in a two-cabin configuration.
