MONTREAL — With travel restrictions easing for fully vaccinated Canadian travellers and permanent residents, and with more reopenings potentially weeks away, airlines are starting to ramp up their schedules.
Last week ********** released its domestic schedule for summer 2021, with flights out of 50 airports in Canada, and three new routes.
********** has also posted details about its international flights, with many routes resuming in the weeks ahead.
As reported on Travelweek.ca, yesterday Prime Minister ************** said further easing of Canada’s travel restrictions could be weeks away, not months, provided vaccination rates stay strong and ***** numbers continue to trend down.
Earlier the federal government announced that effective 11:59 p.m. on July 5, fully vaccinated Canadian travellers and permanent residents returning to Canada from abroad would no longer be required to quarantine, and would not need to do the day 8 PCR test. The pre-departure and on-arrive PCR tests are still mandatory.
Canada’s travel advisory against non-essential travel is still in effect.
The federal government has also extended the closure of the Canada-U.S. border to July 21, however based on Trudeau’s remarks yesterday, it’s possible this could be the last closure renewal. The government is also pursuing a 2-track system of proof of vaccination, starting with the ArriveCAN app, allowing travellers to upload proof of full vaccination either as documents or photos.
Here’s a look at **********’s U.S. and international flights for the coming weeks and months, with flights so far using the four Canadian gateways currently approved for international travel (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary) …
