Air Canada is to launch triple-daily, non-stop
flights between Toronto Pearson and New York City's John F.
Kennedy International Airport beginning 3 May 2012, and increase
to hourly its flights to LaGuardia Airport.
The new services make the airline the only
carrier that operates to all three major New York City area
airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport
and Newark Liberty International Airport.
Air Canada, which began flying to New York 71
years ago, will operate up to 38 non-stop return flights a day
between Canada and New York City this summer.
Ben Smith, Executive Vice-President and Chief
Commercial Officer at Air Canada, said, "Air Canada is very pleased to offer our
customers three-times daily service to John F. Kennedy
International Airport and now hourly service to LaGuardia from
Toronto Pearson. By adding JFK to our existing destinations in the
New York City metropolitan area, Air Canada will provide customers
with the most frequencies, widest choice of airports and greatest
convenience of all airlines flying between New York and Canada.
The flights are timed so customers can easily connect at our
Toronto hub to other destinations in our extensive domestic and
international network, such as Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing. All
eligible customers will also be able to collect and redeem Aeroplan
miles."
Customers will have a choice of three airports across
the New York City region, the option to purchase flight passes,
access to Maple Leaf or Star Alliance partner lounges at all
airports with priority ground services where applicable. In
addition, Air Canada flights to LaGuardia and Newark feature
Executive Class.
The new Toronto-JFK service will be operated by Air Canada Express
using a 50-seat CRJ regional jet. The JFK flights will have early
morning, afternoon and evening arrivals and departures.
With the
new services, Air Canada will operate a total of up to 38 return
flights a day to the New York metropolitan area from Toronto,
Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver.
