Air Canada will operate a year-round, non-stop service between Montreal and Seattle on its newest narrowbody aircraft, the Airbus A220-300.
"With the only non-stop service between the two cities, Air Canada is strengthening its position in the Seattle market and providing yet another key link for business and leisure travellers alike. This new route also further strengthens and expands our service from our Montreal hub," said Mark Galardo, vice president of network planning at Air Canada. "Our customers will benefit from innovative design features in a spacious and comfortable cabin. When connecting through Montreal or other hubs across Canada onward to international destinations, passengers travelling on an A220 will now have a seamless narrowbody-to-widebody aircraft cabin experience all along their journey.
"The A220 will allow us to further develop our North American network, offering customers new routes and more robust year-round schedules."
Air Canada will begin its daily year-round service to Seattle from Montreal on May 4, 2020, complementing existing services to Seattle from Toronto and Vancouver.
