Air Canada has announced that it will begin non-stop service between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and Montreal Feb. 22, 2018. The flight, served by an Airbus A319, will operate three times weekly in the winter and spring, between Feb. 22 \u2013 May 28. The new route will offer the only non-stop service between PHX and Montreal, serving thousands of winter visitors, part-time Valley residents and business travelers. It will also provide enhanced access to Air Canada\u2019s Montreal hub and the airline\u2019s vast global network.<\/p>\n
This announcement comes one week after the Phoenix Mayor and City Council passed new air service incentives for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. \u201cProviding easier access and direct air service to cities like Montreal is not only good for the Phoenix area\u2019s thriving tourism industry, it is vital for our growing international business community,\u201d said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton.<\/p>\n
Air Canada previously offered PHX \u2013 Montreal service on Saturdays and Sundays, launching in Nov. 2010 as the Phoenix economy was battling back from a recession. It was cancelled on April 30, 2011.<\/p>\n
\u201cI applaud Air Canada for bringing non-stop service to Montreal back to Phoenix Sky Harbor,\u201d said Mayor Stanton. \u201cWith the Phoenix economy thriving, and new businesses moving into the area, now is the time to launch new air service connections to points around the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
