Air Canada today inaugurates the only scheduled non-stop service between Montréal and Fort-de-France, Martinique. The weekly service will be initially offered on Saturdays during the summer between July 4, 2009 and August 29, 2009, and will recommence on a year-round basis on December 5, 2009.
"We look forward to offering the only non-stop service between Montréal and Martinique, a Caribbean island with French flair," Marcel Forget, Air Canada's Vice President, Network Planning. "We expect this new service to appeal to Quebecers seeking a wide range of cultural and sporting activities as well as to residents of Martinique interested in Québec's cultural and educational offerings."
"We are pleased that Air Canada is putting in place a direct link between Martinique and Canada, which will benefit our populations by encouraging the exploration of our similarities and the discovery of our differences," said Madeleine Jouye de Grandmaison, President of the Comité Martiniquais de Tourisme. "I wish Air Canada every success in its service between Montréal and Fort-de-France."
