Air Canada Rouge has launched a new route from Vancouver to Dublin, marking the only non-stop service between Vancouver and Ireland. The seasonal flights will operate three times weekly until October 8 with a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada, proclaimed the advantages of the new service: “This route offers convenience to Western Canadians travelling to visit and explore the Emerald Isle's rich landscapes, world-class golf and historic sites, as well as to Irish customers visiting the spectacular attractions Vancouver and British Columbia offer.” The seasonal Dublin service is part of Air Canada's ongoing international expansion this year, following the recent launch of Vancouver-Brisbane, Montreal-Casablanca, Toronto-London Gatwick and Toronto-Prague. This summer, Air Canada will also launch new international services between Toronto-Budapest, Toronto-Warsaw, Toronto-Glasgow, Toronto-Seoul, Montreal-Lyon and later this fall, Vancouver-Delhi.
