AIR CANADA TAKES TO THE SLOPES OF VAIL

Air Canada will launch weekly non-stop flights between Toronto and Vail, Colorado served by nearby Eagle County Regional Airport in time for the 2013-14 winter ski season. Air Canada will operate its new seasonal service on Saturdays beginning Dec. 14 until April 5, 2014, with 120-seat Airbus A319 aircraft offering a choice of Executive or Economy Class service, and featuring complimentary seatback entertainment throughout the aircraft. The flights to Vail from Toronto Pearson International are timed to offer customers easy flight connections throughout AC’s extensive network in Eastern and Atlantic Canada including Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. “Air Canada is pleased to offer customers the convenience of the only non-stop service between Canada and Colorado’s world-famous resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek Mountains,”said Marcel Forget, Air Canada’s vice-president, Network Planning. “Customers beginning their ski holiday will appreciate the convenience of a mid-day arrival with just a short, 30-minute drive before reaching the slopes.”Flights are now available for purchase with introductory one-way fares including all taxes from Toronto starting at $375.
