Air Canada has confirmed it will introduce year-round mainline service to Amsterdam from Toronto beginning in June 2015 as part of the continuing expansion of its international network.

Additions to the summer network also include new Air Canada rouge seasonal service from Montreal to Venice and between Vancouver and Osaka.

“Air Canada will continue its international expansion drive next summer, led by the addition of Amsterdam to its mainline global network.

“Apart from being a popular tourist destination, Amsterdam is also a key business market with longstanding links to Canada.

“Air Canada is the only Canadian carrier to offer the route year-round and it will complement our existing service to Brussels, giving customers easier access to the Benelux region,” said Benjamin Smith, president of passenger airlines at Air Canada.

“In addition to Amsterdam, for summer 2015 Air Canada will launch new double-daily, non-stop Air Canada service to Paris from both Toronto and Montreal, and new Air Canada rouge service between Vancouver and Osaka and between Montreal and Venice.

“It will also offer increased weekly Air Canada rouge frequencies to such popular destinations as Barcelona and Athens.”
