Air Canada - www.aircanada.caAir Canada inaugurates today year-round non-stop service between Geneva and Montréal, with same-plane service continuing on to Toronto. The carrier’s Star Alliance partner, Swiss International Air Lines, will offer seats on a codeshare basis on the new route.
"The introduction of the only non-stop service between Geneva and sister city Montréal is great news for customers traveling on business, including international organizations, as well as for leisure travelers providing easy access to major tourist locations in Canada and the U.S." said Yves Dufresne, Air Canada’s Vice President International and Regulatory affairs in Geneva with Swiss and airport and tourism officials to launch the new service. "Air Canada’s new non-stop Geneva-Montréal service, offered in cooperation with our Star Alliance partner, SWISS, will provide more choice for convenient international travel to North America via our Montreal hub."
According to Mr. Robert DEILLON, Director-General of Geneva International Airport, "Montreal has been for years the unserved long-haul destination with the strongest demand from Geneva. This new Air Canada route is very exciting for our airport and I am convinced that both leisure and business passengers will make it rapidly a success."
"Air Canada’s new service to Geneva is a significant addition to our European network from Montréal," said Mr. James Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer at Aéroports de Montréal. "The link is a natural one between two international cities, headquarters to many international organizations."
Air Canada will operate the new Geneva-Montréal non-stop service using 211-seat Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft offering a choice of Economy Class and Executive First service featuring 24 lay flat bed suites.
