Air Canada Rouge today announced it is further boosting international flights at its Vancouver hub next summer with three times weekly seasonal flights from London Gatwick to Vancouver. Flights begin June 8, 2017 and tickets are now available for purchase. In addition to this new summer service, Air Canada is introducing daily seasonal flights from Frankfurt to Vancouver beginning June 2, 2017.“We will be the only airline flying non-stop between YVR and the two largest airports in the London metropolitan region during the peak summer travel period with the addition of London Gatwick.
By next summer, Air Canada will serve five European destinations non-stop from YVR including two significant hubs, Frankfurt and London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Dublin, and on a code-share basis with joint venture partner Lufthansa Munich, strengthening YVR as an important hub that connects our B.C., Western Canada and U.S. routes to our expanding international network,” said Benjamin Smith, Air Canada President, Passenger Airlines.
