Mark Galardo, Air Canada’s Executive Vice President of Revenue and Network Planning said:
Air Canada’s Asia services continue to reflect strong demand and we are boosting capacity to this geographic area as we deploy our international diversification strategy. This winter we are pleased to offer up to 57 flights per week between Canada and Asia, and up to 64 flights per week next summer. Air Canada will have up to double daily flights to Hong Kong and larger aircraft operating to Shanghai during the December holiday and Lunar New Year travel periods. Capacity to Japan increases by 96% this winter compared to last year. Next spring, seasonal Osaka flights resume earlier and larger aircraft will operate to Narita and Seoul.”
Anthony’s Take: After the travel boom across the Atlantic, carriers now have their eyes set on Asia. American carriers have boosted their schedules for 2024 and now Air Canada has as well.
