Air Canada hails removal of pre-departure testing
Air Canada applauded Canada’s announcement to remove pre-departure testing requirements as of April 1, 2022 for fully vaccinated travellers.
“People are eager to travel and the end of pre-departure testing will provide travellers with more certainty, allowing them to plan their next trip with more confidence,” said David Rheault, Vice-President, Government and Community Relations at Air Canada.
The airline has expanded its domestic, transborder, Europe and South Pacific international route networks this summer.
Air Canada is offering new service on four transborder and three domestic routes, restoring 41 North American routes and will operate to 51 Canadian and 46 U.S. airports.
Internationally, the airline is relaunching 33 routes to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, including Barcelona, Copenhagen, Madrid, Milan and Venice.
Air Canada is also expanding its South Pacific network with the return of daily service to Sydney and resumption of services to both Brisbane and Auckland.
