Galardo: Building at Scale in the Country…

Commenting on this significant expansion was Air Canada’s Executive VP of Revenue & Network Planning, Mark Galardo:

“We continue to see strong demand for southern European destinations, and have increased capacity to countries such as Italy, Greece and especially Spain for this summer.”

“Air Canada is also focused on strategically expanding its Pacific hub in Vancouver and we are thrilled to have launched service to Singapore earlier this month, as well as increasing service to Hong Kong and Japan.”

“With continued high demand for visiting friends, relatives and leisure travel, our increased services to key destinations give customers more options than ever before”.

Furthermore, Galardo turned to their approach to North America.

“Within North America, Air Canada’s domestic and trans-border network will grow to 120 destinations this summer, with the addition of Tulum, Mexico and Charleston, South Carolina, and be further strengthened by our joint business agreement with United Airlines.”

“Taken together, our domestic, trans-border and international schedules, alongside our airline and intermodal partnerships, create a global network unrivalled among Canadian carriers.”

“We have continued to build scale at our Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver hubs, each offering convenient and easy connections and such amenities as our Maple Leaf Lounges and Signature Suites in Toronto and Vancouver for our premium customers.”
