Air Canada will be reconnecting YVR with MIA for the first time in nearly 18 years beginning 17DEC 2022. The carrier will be operating the direct, non-stop route on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays using 169-seat B737 MAX 8 aircraft.
As reported by Simple Flying, data from the U.S. Department of Transportation shows that the YVR-MIA route was last served by Air Canada between JUL 2001 and APR 2004 on a "low-frequency" schedule.
The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau says it's "thrilled" by the news, and highlighted booking data that showed there were 56,000 roundtrip point-to-point passengers travelling between YVR and MIA in 2019, which "demonstrated the need" for the route.
