Toronto flights back at Bradley

Air Canada resumes nonstop service after pandemic disruption

Air Canada restored its nonstop service between Bradley International Airport and Toronto Pearson International Airport on Wednesday, according to the Connecticut Airport Authority.

“We are thrilled to welcome back Air Canada to Bradley International Airport,” Kevin A. Dillon, executive director of the CAA, said in a statement.

“Air Canada’s long-standing partnership with our airport has been and continues to be key to our route network. The airline not only facilitates seamless connectivity between our regions, but it also offers a convenient gateway to the rest of the world via its Toronto-pearson hub. As we celebrate Air Canada’s return, we look forward to once again offering our passengers an easy way to access Canada and beyond.”

The airline returned to Bradley International Airport after a two-year absence due to the international travel disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the CAA. The last Air Canada flights operated at the airport in the spring of 2020.

“Connecticut is an extremely popular destination, appealing to Canadians and global customers alike who enjoy the leisure activities, recreation, arts and culture, tourism and hospitality the state is renowned for,” said Lisa Pierce, vice president, Canada & USA Sales for Air Canada, also in the statement.

“With customer interest in travel resuming post pandemic, we are thrilled to launch our services connecting Bradley International Airport to our Toronto hub. In addition to enabling Canadians and global visitors to come visit Connecticut, our flights also make it especially convenient for area residents to visit and enjoy everything Canada has to offer, or to connect internationally beyond.”

The service will utilize a 50-seat CRJ200 aircraft. It will operate daily and year-round.
