Air Canada launching Tokyo flights from Montreal
Tokyo is getting another new nonstop transpacific connection from North America.
Air Canada will launch direct flights from Montreal to Tokyo Narita starting June 1, 2018.
The service will operate year-round, with daily flights during the summer peak travel period, downsizing to three times a week during winter.
The service will be flown on Air Canada’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets.
Montreal becomes the fourth Canadian city serving Tokyo.
"Air Canada is continuing its global expansion by strategically building its Montreal hub, and we are thrilled to announce the launch of non-stop flights to Tokyo, Montreal’s first scheduled link to Japan. The new flights will offer convenient access to Japan and beyond, complementing our existing Tokyo flights from Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary," said airline CEO Calin Rovinescu.
Air Canada’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft offer a three-class service including International Business Class lie-flat seating and Premium Economy.
Air Canada operates up to 46 nonstop return flights between Canada and Japan each week.
"We are pleased with this new first for Montrealers. The addition of Tokyo to our air service, on top of Tel Aviv, Algiers and Shanghai, among others, certainly reinforces Montreal-Trudeau’s status as an international hub," said Philippe Rainville, president and CEO of Aéroports de Montreal.
