Two Air Canada (TSX:AC) flights touched down in Europe on Friday, inaugurating two non-stop routes from Montréal to Europe. 

Connecting two global aerospace centres, Air Canada’s non-stop, year-round service to Toulouse is the airline’s fourth destination in France and marks the only year-round service between North America and southwestern France.

The airline’s Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning, Mark Galardo, commented that not only does this route connect two significant business cities in the international aerospace industry, it establishes another convenient link to France, and providing travellers from Toulouse connections to a wide variety of destinations via the Montréal hub.

He added that Air Canada’s seasonal services from Montréal to Copenhagen complement its year-round services to the Danish capital from Toronto.

“Via Copenhagen, a Star Alliance hub, our customers will be able to easily connect to the larger Scandinavian market. These two exciting routes are a further sign of our commitment to Montréal as an important hub in Air Canada’s global network growth.”

Flights to Toulouse are operated on an Airbus A330 aircraft with three service classes, one of which was recently outfitted with special diagnostics sensors in partnership with In-Service Aircraft for a Global Observing System (IAGOS), an international non-profit organization that uses commercial aircraft as a global observation platform of climate change and air quality.
