We are delighted to meet the growing demand between Canada and France, which will benefit winter sports enthusiasts as well as business travelers and the expatriate community.
The route will be operated with next-generation Airbus A321LRs featuring spacious cabins, state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment systems and fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2 and NO x ) lowest in its class.
