America with Canada and the rest of the world," said Duncan Dee, Senior Vice
President, Corporate Affairs, in Lima to meet with government and business
leaders on the occasion of the inaugural flight. "We are very pleased to
support the growth of trade and travel with Peru. Air Canada's expanding
network of air service to South America brings added convenience and access
for travellers and freight forwarders world wide. Demand for both leisure and
business travel is bolstered by the convenience of Air Canada's service for
travellers impacted by U.S. government visa requirements when transiting via
the United States. Our recently launched routes to Latin America are performing very well, leading us to pursue further strategic growth
opportunities that leverage our world wide network."
Air Canada's flights to Lima depart Toronto on Monday, Wednesday and
