"We are very pleased to offer customers travelling between Toronto and the cities of Nashville, Washington Dulles and Memphis an upgraded travel experience with larger and more comfortable aircraft featuring a choice of Business Class and wi-fi options on all flights," said Mark Galardo, vice-president, network planning at Air Canada. "We are also adding daily frequencies on our Toronto to Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Austin routes and from Montreal to Baltimore."

Transformative strategies

The changes put forth represent an ongoing transformation of Air Canada Express.

Air Canada Express flights are scheduled for convenient, point-to-point travel as well as easy connections to Air Canada's extensive domestic and international network at its Toronto Pearson global hub. Customers also collect and redeem Aeroplan Miles through Canada's leading loyalty program when travelling with Air Canada, and eligible customers have access to priority check-in, Maple Leaf Lounges at Canadian airports, priority boarding and other benefits.
