Air Canada says the expansion of its Montreal customer service call centre will create more than 150 new jobs.

Canada's largest air carrier says it has filled 50 positions in October and will add another 100 jobs in the next few months.

The expansion will boost the Montreal call centre's workforce to more than 250 people.

Air Canada operates other Canadian call centres in Saint John, N.B., Toronto and Winnipeg.

Its U.S. call centre is in Tampa, Fla.
