Air Canada will launch non-stop flights to Rio de Janeiro starting this winter.

Initially three times a week, the carrier will fly year-round between Toronto and Rio from 11 December in Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with 24 international business class and 187 economy seats.

This is in addition to Air Canada’s existing daily non-stop service to Sao Paulo.

Seats are available for sale with immediate effect and will depart Toronto on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

"Air Canada is very pleased to become the only carrier offering non-stop flights between Canada and Rio de Janeiro and strengthens our position as the only carrier flying non-stop between Canada and South America," said Benjamin Smith, Chief Commercial Officer at Air Canada.
