The flights are timed to ensure convenient connections at Heathrow with bmi, SAS and its other Star Alliance partners.
Air Canada will operate the new route using 212-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, offering a choice of Executive First and Economy service.
The Boeing 767 fleet is being refurbished to feature Air Canada’s new personal entertainment system with 8.9-inch wide digital in-seat monitors and touch-screen controls offering audio and video on demand programming at every seat.
Other features will include Air Canada’s new lie-flat beds in Executive First, as well as new Economy seating and cabin design with in-seat power within reach of every customer.
