Air Canada Bets Big on Europe this Summer

Air Canada is betting big on Europe this summer.

The airline says it will launch new summer service from Montreal to Edinburgh, add nearly 1,300 weekly seats to Paris and Athens, and extend its peak Toronto to Rome schedule until October.

"Air Canada is excited to add the only non-stop flights between Montreal and Edinburgh," said Mark Galardo, Air Canada's Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning, & President, Cargo. "Our new flights will link Scotland to Canada's second largest metropolitan area, bringing additional travel choices to the legendary land of castles, lochs and more through our extensive network at our Montreal hub,"

"We are also adding flights to Paris, Athens and Rome from our Toronto global hub this summer to meet expected demand. At Air Canada, we are proud to support tourism as well as connect people visiting friends and family. We look forward to welcoming customers onboard our flights."
