The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism Authority has welcomed Air Canada’s decision to increase service and offer year-round Air Canada Rouge non-stop flights from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport to the Argyle International Airport.

Weekly Thursday flights resume on October 25th and will continue on a year-round basis.

A second weekly flight will be operating on Sundays during the peak winter travel season, between December 16th and April 28th next year.

”Air Canada is pleased to offer increased frequency and year-round service to St. Vincent and the Grenadines beginning this winter.

“Our decision is based on the strong performance of this route when we launched it last year and we are proud to be the first North American carrier to serve the islands,” said Mark Galardo, vice president, network planning, Air Canada.

This is the second year the airline has offered non-stop flights since the opening of the Argyle International Airport on February 2017, and the first-time offering year-round to Canadian travellers.

“We are very excited to have such a recognized partner in Air Canada Rouge for the year-round non-stop flights,” said Glen Beache, chief executive of SVGTA.

“In opening Argyle International Airport last year, and now offering year-round flights out of Toronto for the first time, we look forward to welcoming even more Canadians travellers to St. Vincent and The Grenadines.”
