Air Canada has confirmed that it will operate two new
winter services to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale from Jean Lesage
International Airport (YQB).
Flights to Fort Lauderdale are scheduled to take
off on 19 November, whilst flights to Orlando will begin on 17
December.
The airline will also increase flights to Punta
Cana and Cancun, effective 4 December 2021.
"We're
delighted that Air Canada is resuming its international flights
from Quebec City to destinations as popular as Cancun, Punta Cana,
Orlando and Fort Lauderdale," said Stéphane Poirier, President and
CEO of Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB). "Not only has Air
Canada decided to bring back some pre-pandemic connections, but it
has also chosen to invest in our market by increasing the
frequency and adding two new destinations to the schedule for
winter 2021. Now that we can finally travel again, it's essential
that the people in the Greater Quebec City area are able to depart
from YQB. This announcement is the result of a fruitful and
beneficial collaboration between Air Canada and YQB."
Air Canada flights out of Quebec City will be
operated by Rouge on Airbus A319 planes that can accommodate 136
passengers.
"We're excited to be launching these two new
routes to Florida from Quebec City, a first for Air Canada. We
know that, for many Quebecers, Florida is a popular place for
winter vacations," said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President,
Network Planning and Revenue Management at Air Canada. "Punta Cana
and Cancun are also among the most popular tropical destinations,
and we are happy to be able to bring back these connections. These
routes will not only provide more diverse flight options for
Quebec City residents but will also strengthen our foothold in a
growing market and better serve the Jean Lesage International
Airport, our long–time partner. Now that restrictions are easing,
it's time to start travelling again and book your escape to the
sun. We can't wait to see you back on board."
