Air Canada to launch Flights between Calgary and Hawaii

Air Canada is to launch non-stop, seasonal flights between Calgary and Hawaii. The new flights will begin 5 December 2009.

"We are pleased to launch the only non-stop flights from Calgary to both Honolulu and Maui this winter, saving more than two and a half hours of trip time in each direction when compared to flying over other routings," said Marcel Forget, Vice President, Network Planning, Air Canada. "We expect this new service to be particularly popular with Albertans looking to escape winter and enjoy the tropical Hawaiian islands. Air Canada's new Calgary-Hawaii flights are also timed for convenient connections to and from Edmonton and other points in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Toronto and points across eastern Canada."

Air Canada will operate these flights with Boeing 767-300ER aircraft offering a choice of Executive or Economy Class service.

Flights are already available for purchase, with fares starting as low as C$269 one way from Calgary to Honolulu, and C$299 one way from Calgary to Maui before taxes and other charges.

This winter, Air Canada will offer up to five weekly flights from Calgary to Hawaii, including up to two flights weekly to Honolulu and up to three flights a week to Maui.

On Saturdays beginning December 5 (with additional flights on Mondays and Fridays beginning December 21), Flight AC43 will depart Calgary at 14:20, arriving Maui at 18:35. Flight AC 44 will depart Maui at 19:55, arriving back in Calgary at 05:15.

On Sundays beginning December 6 (with additional flights on Thursdays beginning December 24), Flight AC 41 will depart Calgary at 14:05, arriving in Honolulu at 18:20. Flight AC 42 will depart Honolulu at 19:40, arriving back in Calgary at 05:10.

The Calgary-Hawaii flights will complement the carrier's 15 weekly flights during peak winter from Vancouver to Hawaii.
