The extra seating on the carrier’s Embraer EMB 190 aircraft is part of Air Canada’s daily nonstop flight to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

“Air Canada’s increased commitment to the Austin market is welcome news. The service between Austin and Toronto connects two cities that serve as worldwide beacons for what a 21st-century economy looks like,” said Doug Driskill, Dell Executive and Chair of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce’s Air Service Task Force. “The increased service and additional seats provide more opportunities for job creators in both markets and will encourage more synergy between these two cities that are driving economic activity in North America.”
