"Building on Air Canada’s success in the rapidly growing Chinese market we are delighted to announce the first direct flights between Montreal and China," said CEO Calin Rovinescu.
"This also marks the introduction of Air Canada’s first 787 Dreamliner aircraft service from Montreal, further underlining our commitment to expand our global reach and reinforce Montreal-Trudeau as a strategic hub."
The new route will expand the carrier’s international route network from Montreal to 13 cities in Europe, North Africa and China.
