MONTREAL - Air Canada said on Wednesday it will launch a direct Seattle-Montreal service next spring with its new A220-300 jets, as the carrier eyes new routes to grow its share of lucrative international transit traffic to and from the United States.
“The economics that come with this aircraft allow Air Canada to open new routes that you couldn’t serve profitably,” said Mark Galardo, vice president of network planning, in an interview. The so-called “sixth-freedom” right of an airline to carry passengers or cargo from a second country to a third country, provided it touches down in its home country, is key to Air Canada’s international growth strategy because of Canada’s limited population.
Galardo declined to say what proportion of passengers on Air Canada’s international flights come from the United States.
