The launch of the new three-weekly Air Canada Montréal-Catania route will operate until 23 October.
A milestone for Catania Airport
This is a significant milestone for the international connectivity of Catania Airport and consolidates Sicily’s strategic role as a gateway from and to North America, fostering the development of tourist, economic and cultural flows between the two regions. Operated by the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the new service will allow passengers from Sicily and Southern Italy to fly directly to Montréal and, via the Air Canada network, to numerous destinations in the United States, the Caribbean, South America and Mexico.
" A bridge between communities"
“The departure of the first direct flight between Catania and Montréal marks an important moment for our airport and for the whole of Sicily,- said Anna Quattrone, president of SAC, and Nico Torrisi, CEO of SAC. -This new route strengthens the process of Sicily’s internationalization and consolidates Catania’s role as a strategic hub in the Mediterranean. The connection with Canada is not only a concrete opportunity for tourism and economic exchange, but also a bridge between communities deeply linked by historical, cultural and family ties.”
Strengthening "deep ties between Sicily and Canada"
“This route strengthens the deep ties between Sicily and Canada and will offer new opportunities to families, businesses and communities living and operating on both sides of the Atlantic. Thanks to this new flight, passengers departing from Sicily will be able to easily access Air Canada’s entire international network and reach numerous destinations in Canada, North America and the rest of the world more easily,” said Margaret Skinner, Air Canada’s senior director of sales EMEAI. “
