Canadian air carrier Sunwing Airlines plans to double the number of flights between Montreal and Paris next summer after the route’s successful debut this year, reports Le Quotidien.
Starting just this past May, the airline has been offering twice-weekly flights between Montreal and Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport. Despite limited advertising – the new service was only announced in March – the flights have been selling extremely well. Due to the success, the air carrier has decided to double the number of flights next year, offering four flights a week by the summer of 2012.
"Ever since our customers first experienced our Champagne service aboard Sunwing Airlines flights to the south, they’ve been asking us to add European destinations," explained airline CEO and president Stephen Hunter.
The Montreal-to-Paris route was one of six new European flights added to the schedule this year. From now until September 12, the airline also offers flights from Toronto to London, Paris, Dublin, Porto, Lisbon and Rome.
