MONTREAL, Nov. 22 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada today announced that it will introduce non-stop flights between Montreal and Mexico City. Beginning June 17, 2006, Air Canada will operate year-round daily non-stop service linking Canada's second largest city, and its extensive eastern Canada network, with the Mexican capital. Flights are conveniently timed to offer travellers a wide range of connecting flights in Mexico City to and from: Acapulco, Cancun, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Puerto Vallarta, and in Montreal to and from: Ottawa, Quebec City, Moncton and Halifax. Tickets are now available for purchase.

"The introduction of daily non-stop Air Canada flights between Montreal and Mexico City is great news for Montrealers and consumers in eastern Canada seeking value and convenience in air travel to Mexico, whether for business, vacation or visiting friends and family," said Ben Smith, Vice President, Planning. "We expect our new non-stop service beginning in the peak summer season for northbound travel to be equally popular for Mexicans. The addition of Montreal-Mexico City non-stop flights complements our year-round non-stop service from Toronto." Air Canada also serves Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Ixtapa.

Air Canada's new Montreal-Mexico City non-stop service will be operated using 120-seat Airbus A319 aircraft offering a choice of Executive Class and Hospitality service.
