Air Canada has announced long-haul expansion plans with four new routes from Toronto to Europe, including Glasgow, and a first foray to Africa.
The Air Canada Rouge service to Casablanca, Morocco, expands the airline’s network to six continents with a four times a week service beginning June 3 2016.
The Toronto-Glasgow flights will run three times a week between June 14 and September 25.
Air Canada Rouge services were also announced for Prague, Budapest, and Warsaw.
"Air Canada is solidifying its position among leading global carriers by becoming one of only a dozen airlines flying to six continents with today’s announcement of non-stop service to Casablanca, our first destination in Africa," said Benjamin Smith, president, passenger airlines at Air Canada.
"Our new, non-stop Air Canada Rouge routes to Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, and Glasgow from Toronto Pearson are equally important as we continue to build out our network from our global gateway hub with more international destinations."
All routes will be operated seasonally on 280-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
These are in addition to already announced new routes due to take off later this year from Toronto to Dubai and Delhi.
Earlier this week, Air Transat announced plans for a route to Glasgow from Montreal.
