AC launches YYZ-ICN route, expands international network

Air Canada inaugurated its flight from Toronto to Seoul last Friday (June 17), marking the carrier’s 10th new international route in the past month.

Since May 19, Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge have, between them, started seven new non-stop routes to Europe and one each to Asia, Africa and Australia as part of the airline's international expansion. In addition, Air Canada has also launched 11 new U.S. transborder routes since the start of May.

"Air Canada has undertaken the most intensive period of international expansion in its history. Over the past month, through Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, we have launched 10 new non-stop, year-round or seasonal services to international destinations on four continents. This gives customers, in time for this summer, more choices of destinations and routings than ever before," Benjamin Smith, president, passenger airlines at Air Canada, stated in a release.

The year-round Toronto-Seoul service will run daily aboard a 787-9 Dreamliner.
