Air Canada Doubles Flights from Toronto to China

Air Canada welcomed the signing of an agreement between China and Canada by which the government of China has granted Canada Approved Destination Status, making it easier for Chinese nationals to visit Canada.

The agreement comes as Air Canada doubles its capacity between Toronto and China beginning this fall with the introduction of daily flights year-round to Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong, in addition to its year-round flights between Vancouver and all three cities.

“Canada’s new status as an approved destination by the Chinese government opens significant opportunities for Air Canada to further build on our already extensive service to China and Asia,” said Duncan Dee, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Air Canada.
