Air Canada adding more flights from Regina in summer

Air Canada will be adding more flights out of the Regina airport next summer.

According to the Regina Airport Authority, the added capacity will include four flights a day to Toronto, three flights each day to Vancouver, and – for the first time – non-stop, round-trip daily flights to Montreal.

Alexandre Lefevre, Air Canada’s vice-president of network planning for North America, said the additions will make travel from the Queen City much more convenient.

“With up to eight daily round-trip flights representing 1,900 seats every day with Air Canada to Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, access to more than 180 destinations throughout North America and globally are one convenient flight away,” Lefevre said in a statement.

Justin Reves with the Regina Airport Authority said the new flights will help connect travellers to popular spots both in Canada and around the world.

“Adding Montreal in the summer offers not just an incredible city in Canada to explore, but also a gateway to many unique destinations in Europe,” Reves said in a statement.

“Having up to 8 flights and nearly 2,000 seats a day to and from Air Canada’s global hubs means incredible options in 2 flights or less for residents and visitors alike.”

Air Canada isn’t the only airline adding more flights to and from Regina. WestJet will offer a daily, direct flight from Regina to Minneapolis starting in April.
