We had a record year for passengers in 2018 and we know there’s considerable growth ahead. Mike Seabrook

“Today’s announcement is fantastic news for travelers in Southwestern Ontario,” Mike Seabrook, CEO at London International Airport, said in a statement Thursday.

“Air Canada continues to demonstrate their commitment to our region and have been steadily increasing the number of destinations that they serve from London. The daily non-stop flights will allow passengers a short flight time to Calgary as well as providing convenient connections to other Western Canada destinations.”

This year, the Air Canada flights, operated on A319 aircraft, will go from June 24 until mid-October.

Aside from allowing residents in Southwestern Ontario direct “point-to-point” travel between the two cities, the new flights will make it easier to reach other destinations throughout Alberta and British Columbia, airport officials said.
