THORNHILL, ON — Air Canada ushered in the Lunar New Year last night as the airline welcomed members of the travel industry and guests of the Toronto Asian community for a celebratory evening at the Lobster Port banquet hall in Thornhill, ON.

Marking the annual tradition, guests enjoyed a fun-filled evening of festivities led by a highly energetic Air Canada sales team, including a traditional multi-course New Year meal, games and prizes.

Also in attendance were members of the China National Tourist Office, Hong Kong Tourism Board, Korea Tourism Organization, Japan National Tourism Organization, Tokyo Tourism and the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

As the Asia-Pacific travel industry welcomes the Year of the Dragon – the Wood Dragon, to be precise (the symbol associated with innovation, progress and positive change) – Air Canada is ready and strategically poised to boost its network capacity and growth in the region this year

“2024 will be a fascinating year for Air Canada, especially for the Asia Pacific market. We will expand and increase frequency and capacity to Asia destinations, including Japan, where we will double capacity and Osaka flights that will start as early as May,” said Rocky Lo, Senior Director of Asia Revenue Management & Sales for Air Canada.

“Also, we have all the other gateways to Asia-Pacific that you and your clients can choose to travel to,” added Lo.
