Air Canada announced on Monday morning it would be starting a year-round, non-stop flight from St. John's to London, England starting in late October. The company said flights will depart Monday, Thursday and Saturday starting Oct. 26.
Air Canada said a strong economy has created demand for service between St. John's International and Heathrow airports. According to the company, a free trade agreement between Canada and Europe, along with tourism, increased the demand for business travel. The route will use a refurbished 120-seat Airbus A319 aircraft, offering business and economy service.
In 2007, Air Canada cancelled service between St. John's and London despite a promise of seasonal summer service. Air Canada picked up the seasonal service again in summer 2010.
