Budget airline launches two new summer routes from Glasgow<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cWe know there is strong interest in Scotland around the world, and Canada remains one of our key markets for both inbound and outbound tourism. That\u2019s why it makes perfect sense to make travel between our countries as seamless as possible by adding more direct connections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have an excellent relationship with Air Canada, and we\u2019re both thrilled to see two of those iconic tailfins at Edinburgh Airport.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rocky Lo, Air Canada\u2019s Managing Director of International Sales, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to be taking to the skies with our latest transatlantic route from the Scottish capital to our home hub, Montr\u00e9al, just in time for summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdinburgh is an important destination for Air Canada, thanks to the strong cultural ties between Scotland and Canada, so we are proud to be solidifying our presence in the market with the new route, working with our partners at Edinburgh Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the only airline connecting these two iconic cities, initial demand for the route has already been strong, and we expect interest to grow even further in the coming months, as leisure and business travellers plan their last-minute summer trips.\u201d<\/p>\n
Minister for Connectivity Jim Fairlie said: \u201cI am pleased to welcome the launch of Air Canada\u2019s new service between Edinburgh and Montr\u00e9al, further strengthening our direct links to Canada.<\/p>\n
\u201cScotland has longstanding and deep-rooted ties with Canada, and this new service will help grow the economic benefits of our tourism sector and provide additional connectivity for business to the Canadian market.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish Air Canada every success with their new Montr\u00e9al service and welcome their continued commitment to the Scottish market in a highly competitive environment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The only direct service between Scotland and Montr\u00e9al has started\u00a0as Air Canada launches its new route.
