Air Canada Expands Global Routes as Canadians Look Beyond the U.S.

Air Canada is increasing flights across Canada and to international destinations as travellers show less interest in visiting the United States. The airline has strengthened its domestic network while boosting capacity in Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
