Air Canada Domestic Summer Schedule Features New and Restored Services, Increased Frequencies

Air Canada has announced a new service between YUL and YMM that will launch JUN 2023 as part of its domestic summer schedule.

For summer 2023, Air Canada is also restoring suspended services and increasing frequencies on popular routes across Canada, as the company augments its Canadian network following the pandemic.

Air Canada also announced increased frequencies on flights between Toronto-Kelowna, Montreal-Vancouver and Toronto-Winnipeg. The airline said it will offer more than 600 daily flights on 97 routes to 51 destinations in Canada this summer, the most of any carrier.

"As the country's flag carrier, Air Canada's increased Canadian summer schedule further reinforces our role in providing critical connectivity to Canadians coast-to-coast. Our new Montreal-Fort McMurray service brings easier access from eastern Canada to one of the critical economic hubs of Alberta. And with the prudent restoration of suspended routes and increased frequencies on others, we are improving our customers' options for domestic travel. We are looking forward to an exceptional summer, with service on 97 domestic routes to 51 Canadian airports, making us the largest Canadian carrier, with the most seats and capacity available for travellers," said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President of Network Planning and Revenue Management at Air Canada.

"Furthermore, we've built our Canadian summer schedule to synchronize with our recently announced summer international schedule, facilitating connectivity through our hubs for our customers, whether they're traveling within Canada, across the border to the US, or to our many destinations worldwide. "

The new service between YUL and YMM will begin 20JUN 2023. Flights will be operated year-round, three days a week, by Air Canada Rouge using an Airbus A319 aircraft with 136 seats in a Premium Rouge and Economy Class configuration. With its new YUL and existing YYZ service, Air Canada will connect YMM non-stop to Quebec and Ontario.

Air Canada also announced the resumption of several seasonal routes and one previously suspended route. This includes:

·         Daily YQX-YYZ flights beginning 01JUN

·         YXU-YUL flights beginning 17JUN

·         Four-times weekly YMM-YYZ flights resuming 01MAY

·         Three-times weekly YYC-YQB flights starting 19JUN

In addition, Air Canada is planning daily widebody service on its YOW-YVR  route while also offering multiple options to leisure destinations, such as YLW and YYJ through its three main hubs.
