Air Canada launches Non-Stop Service to Rome

Air Canada today launched year-round non-stop flights between Canada and Italy's capital city, Rome.

In addition, effective April 12, 2005, Air Canada will offer flights on a codeshare basis via Rome to Lamezia Terme, Catania, Palermo, Turin and Venice in cooperation with Air One, a Lufthansa partner airline. The codeshare agreement with Air One features reciprocal frequent flyer benefits for Aeroplan members.

"The re-introduction of our non-stop service to Rome strengthens Air Canada's position as the carrier of choice for non-stop flights to Europe," said Ben Smith, Vice President, Planning. "Together with our codeshare partner, Air One, Air Canada's network is extended further to points throughout Italy resulting in a more seamless travel experience for our customers."

Air Canada's Toronto-Rome non-stop service is operated using 223-seat Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft, offering customers a choice of two classes of service.
