DFW AIRPORT, Texas, Dec. 7, 2016 /CNW/ -- Air Canada has announced it will launch a daily flight from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport to Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), starting May 26, 2017.  Air Canada will operate the route using Embraer 175 aircraft with a capacity of 73 seats.  The flight will depart DFW daily at 11:50 AM and arrive in Montréal at 4:35 PM with the return flight departing Montréal at 8:10 AM and arriving in DFW at 11:15 AM.

"Canada continues to be an important trading partner for our region and we are pleased that they have chosen to expand their network from DFW with a new flight to Montréal, Canada's second largest city," said John Ackerman, Executive Vice President of Global Strategy and Development for DFW Airport. "The addition of this flight service further enhances our international route network by adding more than 52,000 seats a year."
