MONTREAL — ********** is making good on its commitment to international expansion with the addition of six new destinations to its international network.

On June 1, 2017 ********** will launch service between Toronto-Berlin (four times weekly) and Vancouver-Nagoya (three times weekly, increasing to four times weekly in August and September 2017).

On June 8, 2017, Vancouver-Taipei starts with daily service, and on June 9, 2017, Montreal-********* with three times weekly service.

On June 26, 2017 the ******* will introduce Montreal-Algiers flights (four times weekly). And on July 1, ********** will add Toronto-Mumbai (three times weekly).

Both the Montreal-Algiers and the Vancouver-Taipei routes are subject to government approvals.

“********** is pleased to offer customers these new nonstop routes to exciting destinations around the *****. While extending our global reach, they also represent a further deepening of our already substantial international network,” said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at **********.

Toronto-Mumbai is **********’s third route between Canada and India starting with the launch of Toronto-Delhi service last fall, he added. Nagoya will be the *******’s fourth airport in Japan.

“With these new services, we will now operate 21 routes between Canada and Asia, including the ***********. Berlin and ********* will bring the number of European routes we serve to 44 next summer, including four cities in France. Algiers will be our second destination in Africa, which makes ********** one of only a small number of global carriers flying to all six inhabited continents.”

********** will be the only carrier to offer nonstop service between Canada and Mumbai and the only Canadian carrier to operate non-stop service to Taipei. These routes will operate year-round with **********’s B787-9 Dreamliner, featuring 30 International Business Class lie-flat seat suites, 21 Premium Economy and 247 Economy Class seats, with upgraded in-flight entertainment at every seat throughout the aircraft.

The new seasonal routes to Berlin and Nagoya will be the only nonstop services between these cities and Canada. The service to Algiers will be the only nonstop flight by a Canadian carrier between Montreal and the North African city and the ********* service will be the only nonstop flight operated by a network carrier between ********* and North America. All will be operated with an ********** Rouge B767-300ER, featuring Premium Rouge and Economy cabins.

All flights are available for sale immediately with special introductory pricing, except for Vancouver-Taipei and Montreal-Algiers which will be available for sale in the near future pending government approvals, said Smith.
