MONTREAL — Air Canada is celebrating not one, but two inaugural international flights from Montreal today.

Its nonstop, year-round service to Toulouse, France marks the airline’s fourth destinations in France and the only year-round service between North America and southwestern France.

In addition, Air Canada’s seasonal services from Montreal to Copenhagen, Denmark 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!” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada. “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.”

He added that the airline is also thrilled to inaugurate its second route from Canada to Copenhagen, “offering travellers from both sides of the Atlantic more choices to visit and explore each other’s countries.”

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), an international non-profit that utilizes commercial aircraft as a global observation platform of climate change and air quality.
