Air Canada has confirmed it will inaugurate daily non-stop services between Sydney and Vancouver, using new B777 aircraft, effective 14 December. General manager Australia and New Zealand for Air Canada, Jeannie Foster, says the non-stop routing on the new wide-body aircraft will cut more than three hours from the current one-stop routing via Honolulu, while offering customers time-saving connections to and from points throughout North America and Australia.
“With the arrival of the B777, we will introduce the only daily, non-stop service between Australia and Canada, our seventh non-stop destination in the Asia-Pacific region” said Foster.
With the introduction of non-stop service to Sydney, the carrier has suspended near-term plans to operate flights to Australia via Los Angeles in view of the lack of necessary authorizations at this time to operate the route.
Effective 16 December, AC034 will depart Sydney 11:35, arriving in Vancouver the same day at 06:40. Air Canada flight AC033 will depart Vancouver at 23:45, arriving in Sydney 09:50 two days later due to time zone differences. Air Canada’s Star Alliance partner, Air New Zealand, will code-share on this service.
