Air Canada has expanded its operations with the launch of two new transborder routes between Halifax and Newark and Vancouver and Houston. These routes are introduced due to rising demand and strengthening the trans-border partnership with United Airlines to solidify it position in the Canada-US market, the airline said.
Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President, Network Planning and Revenue Management at Air Canada, said: “These routes will give customers in Atlantic and Western Canada more convenient options for flying to the US. They will reinforce the already strong links between Atlantic Canada and New York, while for customers in Western Canada they will provide more options for reaching destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean through United Airlines' Houston hub. They will also facilitate many new one-stop connections from the US onto Air Canada's extensive domestic and global network."
Air Canada currently has the largest number of flights to the US, with these routes starting by December 2022, Air Canada’s US network will increase by 6% of its pre-pandemic capacity.
