Air Canada said that beginning December 1 it will double the frequency of The Landline Company’s luxury coach service between the Region of Waterloo International Airport and Toronto Pearson. The number of daily return trips will increase to 10 from five, giving customers more convenient options for travelling and better connection times with their onward flights from Air Canada’s global hub.

Premium motorcoaches

The motorcoaches used by Landline for Air Canada are made in Canada by Prevost, a manufacturer of touring coaches based in Sainte-Claire, Quebec. Each Landline motorcoach provides a premium experience, with 36 spacious, leather seats in a two-by-one configuration. The coaches are equipped with free Wi-Fi, power and a table tray available at each seat, generous overhead storage for carry-on baggage, and an onboard lavatory. Announcements will be made in both Official Languages and the coaches are fully accessible, including a power lift for customers requiring mobility aids. Customers travelling on Landline can earn and redeem Aeroplan miles and customers are protected in the event of trip disruption.

Air Canada regional services

Air Canada operates to 40 communities across Canada, including in partnership with regional carriers Jazz Aviation LP and PAL Airlines. Through its innovative partnership with Landline, Air Canada is extending its regional network to conveniently connect local airports directly to its global network. In addition to the Region of Waterloo International Airport, Air Canada and Landline have partnered to serve the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport and Kingston Norman Rogers Airport. There is potential to further expand the partnership with Landline to connect with other regional airports in Canada at a future date.
