Air Canada inaugurates flights from Montreal to Toulouse & Copenhagen

Air Canada on Friday (June 2) inaugurated two strategic non-stop routes from its Montreal global hub to Europe. 

Air Canada's non-stop, year-round service to Toulouse is the airline's fourth destination in France and marks the only year-round service between North America and southwestern France, connecting two global aerospace centres, as well as two francophone cities. 

Additionally, Air Canada's seasonal services from Montreal to Copenhagen complement its year-round services to the Danish capital from Toronto.

"We are very excited to  have launched our long-awaited, year-round new flights between our Montreal global hub to the French-speaking world, and Toulouse! Not only are we connecting two significant business cities in the international aerospace industry, we are establishing another convenient link to France, and providing travellers from Toulouse connections to a wide variety of destinations via our Montreal hub," said Mark Galardo, executive vice-president, revenue and network planning.

"We are thrilled to inaugurate our second route from Canada to Copenhagen, offering travellers from both sides of the Atlantic more choices to visit and explore each other's countries. Via Copenhagen, a Star Alliance hub, our customers will be able to easily connect to the larger Scandinavian market. These two exciting routes are a further sign of our commitment to Montreal as an important hub in Air Canada's global network growth." 

Flights to Toulouse are operated on an Airbus A330 aircraft featuring three classes of service, one of which was recently outfitted with special diagnostics sensors in partnership with In-Service Aircraft for a Global Observing System (IAGOS), a non-profit organization that utilizes aircraft as a global observation platform of climate change and air quality. 

Toulouse is home to one of the main scientific laboratories behind IAGOS, the Laboratoire d'Aérologie, CNRS, and one of the partners of IAGOS, Météo France, is also located in the French city.
