AC's Montreal-Lisbon service takes flight

Air Canada’s new summer seasonal service from Montreal to Lisbon officially takes flight today (June 15), operating three times per week until Oct. 27.

Flights are operated with Boeing 767-300ER aircraft featuring Premium Rouge and Economy Class service and are timed to optimize connectivity from across Air Canada's network through Air Canada's hub in Montreal.

"Building on Air Canada's current success in the Portuguese market, the new Montreal-Lisbon route solidifies the airline's presence in the summer leisure market from Montreal,” said Benjamin Smith, president, passenger airlines at Air Canada. “Additionally, enhancements to our year-round services to Casablanca and Lima demonstrate Air Canada's on-going commitment to grow Montreal as an important hub in our global network. Together, these new and enhanced services will provide customers greater comfort and choice, as well as the ability to conveniently connect onward through our extensive North American and International network."
