Air Canada continues to improve air access to
Europe with the expansion of service between Canada and Italy. Effective
November 19, 2002, Air Canada will offer daily flights to Venice and Bologna
on a codeshare basis via Frankfurt in cooperation with its Star Alliance
partner, Lufthansa, and effective today offers flights between Munich and
Venice five times per week in cooperation with Lufthansa partner airline, Air
Dolomiti. Flights are scheduled to provide customers with convenient connections to Air Canada's non-stop flights to both
Frankfurt and Munich.
Members of Air Canada's frequent flyer program, Aeroplan, enjoy accumulation
and redemption benefits on these new services. "Our expansion of service to
Venice and Bologna, the third and fourth largest markets, respectively, for air
travel between Canada and Italy, builds on our daily non-stop service between
Toronto and Rome, and our codeshare service between Toronto and Milan," said Ross MacCormack, Senior Vice
President, International and Alliances. "We look forward to continuing to
improve air access between Canada and Italy, particularly to points in southern Italy, in the new year. The addition of Venice
and Bologna as new Air Canada destinations further enhances our extensive
European network and contributes to the strength of the Star Alliance global
network."
Air Canada offers daily non-stop service between Toronto and Rome and
five times weekly codeshare service between Toronto and Milan. Air Canada also
offers daily non-stop flights between Montréal, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver
and Frankfurt, as well as non-stop flights five times weekly between Toronto
and Munich. |
