Air Canada
is to re-introduce non-stop scheduled services between Montréal and Fort-de-France, Martinique. The weekly service will be initially
offered on Saturdays during the summer between July 4, 2009 and August 29, 2009, and will
recommence on a year-round service basis on December 5, 2009.
"We look forward to re-introducing the only non-stop service between Montréal and Martinique, the Caribbean island with French flair," said
Daniel Shurz, Air Canada's Vice President, Network Planning. "We expect this new service to appeal to Quebecers seeking direct access to a
slice of France set down in the tropics and offering vacationers a wide range of cultural and sporting activities as well as to residents of
Martinique taking advantage of Québec's cultural and educational features."
Madeleine Jouye de
Grandmaison, President of the
Comité Martiniquais de Tourisme, added, "We are pleased that Air Canada is putting in place a direct link between Martinique and Canada, which will benefit our populations by
encouraging the exploration of our similarities and the discovery of our
differences."
Air Canada's Montréal-Fort-de-France non-stop service will be operated on Saturdays using 120-seat Airbus A319. The aircraft offers Executive
and Economy Class travel and free personal audio-video entertainment at every seat with a choice of 24 movies and 100 hours of TV
programming.
