Air Canada to Launch Year-Round Service to Rio

Air Canada will launch a new, non-stop service between Toronto and Rio de Janeiro beginning Dec. 11.

The year-round flights to Brazil’s “Marvelous City” will complement the carrier’s existing daily non-stop service to Sao Paulo.

The new service is timed for convenient connections to Air Canada’s network at Toronto’s Pearson airport, including to Tokyo-Haneda, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai, and further expands Air Canada’s global reach from Toronto.

Flights are available for sale now and commence operating, three days a week, beginning Dec. 11. The service will be provided with a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with 24 International Business Class and 187 Economy seats.
