The departure (June 17) of flight AC 995 marks the inaugural of non-stop daily service linking Montreal and its extensive eastern Canada network, with the Mexican capital. "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, Network Planning. "We expect our new non-stop service to be equally popular for Mexicans."

Flights are conveniently timed to offer travellers a wide range of connecting flights from Montreal throughout the province of Quebec, as well as to and from Atlantic Canada including: Halifax, Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John and St. John's, NL. Once in Mexico City travellers will also have a choice of convenient connecting flights to and from: Acapulco, Cancun, Guadalajara, and Monterrey.

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 Economy service.

The addition of Montreal-Mexico City daily non-stop service complements Air Canada's twice-daily, year-round, non-stop, flights from Toronto. The carrier also serves Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Ixtapa.
