Air Canada to launch non-stop, year-round service between Toronto and Yellowknife

Air Canada is launching non-stop, year-round service between Toronto and Yellowknife that it says will help support both tourism and business in the region.

The route, which will fly three times a week, is expected to start service in December. 

The Montreal-based airline says customers will also be able to seamlessly connect from Yellowknife to flights by its partner airline Canadian North. 

Mark Galardo, executive vice-president of revenue and network planning, says flights will be timed for easy connections through Toronto to elsewhere in Eastern Canada, the U.S. and sunny destinations.
