The airline has said that it will operate three-times weekly flights to Tokyo's Narita International Airport beginning March 27, 2010 in time for summer peak travel. Air Canada's Calgary-Tokyo flights will be operated on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday using a 211-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. The new Calgary-Tokyo service will complement the airline's daily non-stop flights to Tokyo from both Vancouver and Toronto. Ben Smith, executive vice president and chief commercial officer of Air Canada, said: "The introduction of the only non-stop service between Calgary and Tokyo is great news for customers travelling between Alberta and Asia on business or leisure as well as for freight forwarders. Our initial schedule of three weekly flights during the 2010 summer season is the first step towards building year-round, daily flights."
