Canadian flag carrier, Air Canada, has confirmed its non-stop seasonal service between Manchester Airport and Toronto will resume this summer.
Flights will operate five-times weekly from 1st June to 30th September, reconnecting the North with Canada’s main financial hub and with flights planned to optimise onward connections across North America, including 46 destinations in the USA.
The route will be served by Airbus A330-300 aircraft, accommodating 297 passengers.
Stephen Gerrard, Air Canada General Manager Sales, UK and Ireland, said:
“This is very exciting news for our customers in Manchester who can start planning their next trip to rediscover Canada. Our non-stop flight between Manchester and Toronto will provide our customers in the north west of England with a direct link to Canada and beyond. We look forward to welcoming our customers back on board.”
Ian Costigan, Interim Managing Director at Manchester Airport, commented:
“We are thrilled to see Air Canada return to Manchester Airport as we play our part in reconnecting our region with the world. The service to Toronto is fantastic news for companies large and small across the North who do business with Canada, and also for tourism and those visiting friends and family. It is also great to see the carrier return with its mainline service, offering a high-quality product with both business and premium economy classes.”
In addition to the upcoming service between Manchester and Toronto, Air Canada currently offers nonstop services from London Heathrow to Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal and Calgary as well as between Dublin and Toronto.
