Air Canada has announced the introduction of a nonstop service between Montreal and Narita International Airport, starting June 1, 2018, the Montreal Gazette reported on August 23.

Flights will operate three times a week year-round, with daily services during peak times in summer, onboard Air Canada’s flagship aircraft, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Calin Rovinescu, president and chief executive officer of Air Canada, said that the new transpacific service reflects Air Canada’s ongoing international growth strategy from Montreal, following the recent introduction of non-stop flights to Shanghai and Lima, as well as to cities in North Africa and Europe. The flight will use Air Canada’s flagship aircraft, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
