MONTREAL, Oct. 18 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada is expanding service to
Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago this spring with designated, non-stop
flights to each country that will provide greater convenience and better
connections for travellers.
    "Air Canada is meeting the growing demand for both business and leisure
travel between Toronto and Caracas, Venezuela, and Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Where previously we had a single flight serving both cities, this spring we
are enhancing our service by commencing separate, non-stop flights for each
destination. This will result in faster travel times, better connections and
overall increased ease of travel for our customers," said Daniel Shurz, Vice
President of Network Planning at Air Canada. "Customers travelling to and from
Venezuela and Trinidad will be able to take advantage of Air Canada's
extensive domestic, transborder and international network by connecting
through our Toronto hub."
