Air Canada to fly nonstop to Daytona Beach

Air Canada will commence weekend nonstop seasonal service between Toronto and Daytona Beach International Airport beginning December 13.
“This is tremendous news for the entire region,” said Airport Director Dennis McGee, who noted that Canadians make up the area’s largest number of international visitors. In addition, hundreds of Canadians own property and have relatives, friends or business connections within the region. The area’s beaches and proximity to Central Florida’s attractions provide added value for Canadian visitors. To complement the new service, the airline’s tour operator subsidiary, Air Canada Vacations, plans to offer combined air and car rental packages.

The new seasonal service will operate Saturdays and Sundays through the spring. Air Canada’s regional airline, Air Canada Jazz, will operate the flights using 50-seat Canadair regional jets. McGee said inbound passengers will pre-clear U.S. Customs in Toronto before boarding the flight to Daytona Beach. Therefore, the flights will be able to operate from the domestic terminal in Daytona Beach. The first flight will depart Toronto Pearson International Airport on both days at 10:30 a.m. and arrive in Daytona Beach at 1:06 p.m. The return flight will depart Daytona Beach at 1:40 p.m. and arrive in Toronto at 4:10 p.m.

At the carrier’s main hub in Toronto, Air Canada offers connecting flights to many destinations throughout its vast network.
