Air Canada has resumed flight service connecting Toronto to Vienna with three-times weekly flights.
The service restarted late last month and will be operated on Air Canada's Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. This follows news that European travellers will be allowed to enter Canada as of 07SEP 2021.
“The return of Air Canada to Vienna represents an important step for Vienna and for Austria as tourism locations and we are pleased to once again welcome more overseas guests to our country. The resumption of flight service from Vienna to Toronto and the loosening of Canadian entry requirements for European travellers as of SEP 2021 will make another important region accessible from Europe again," stated a pleased Julian Jäger, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
"Step by step, intercontinental, long-haul air traffic is coming back."
“We are extremely pleased with the resumption of regular non-stop flights between Vienna and Toronto...This decision in conjunction with the planned opening of Canadian borders for Europeans at the beginning of September underlines the great importance that the Vienna Airport flight hub has assumed for Air Canada in such a short time. The flights between Vienna and Toronto connect two major Air Canada flight hubs with a large number of connecting flights on both sides of the Atlantic within the context of the airline’s close collaboration with Austrian Airlines in the Atlantic Joint Venture," said Frank Hartung, Sales and Marketing Manager Germany & Austria, Air Canada.
"Furthermore, we are firmly convinced that the Austrian market will continue to develop very positively for Air Canada in the future, both in terms of incoming air traffic from Canada and the USA as well as outgoing flight traffic from Austria to North America.”
