Air Canada to Boost Direct Flights to China Following Policy Shift

Air Canada announced plans to increase its direct flights to China starting December 2024, following the Canadian government’s recent decision to lift restrictions on Chinese airlines’ flights to Canada. This policy shift, reversing a 2022 limit, paves the way for improved bilateral connectivity, aiming to bolster economic ties and ease travel for business and leisure passengers. The increased capacity will enhance Air Canada’s ability to meet growing demand across popular routes connecting major cities in both countries, reinforcing Canada’s role in facilitating international travel and trade with China.
