"We are turning a corner": Air Canada anticipating recovery in demand

********** ramps up transborder service with up to 220 daily flights

MONTREAL — **********’s updated summer transborder schedule includes 55 routes and 34 destinations in the U.S., with up to 220 daily flights between the U.S. and Canada. 

********** says the new schedule coincides with yesterday’s announcement from the federal government that effective Aug. 9, 2021, fully vaccinated American travellers can enter Canada for non-essential travel. 

There’s no word yet on if and when the U.S. will reciprocate Canada’s new measures, however throughout the ******** the two countries have aligned on the border closure.

Says Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President, Network Planning and Revenue Management at **********: “The easing of travel restrictions announced today by the federal government is an important step based on science, and we are very pleased to rebuild our Canada-U.S. network.

Galardo notes that **********’s schedule enables convenient onward travel through its Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal hubs to and from the *******’s global destinations.

“We are planning to restore services to all 57 U.S. destinations previously served as conditions allow. We sincerely look forward to welcoming our customers onboard,” he said.

 ********** APP AND ***** TEST RESULTS 

Meanwhile the ********** App, with updates announced last month, allows customers flying from the U.S. to Canada and between Canada and select European destinations to easily and securely scan and upload ******** test results to validate compliance with government travel requirements prior to arriving at the airport.
