"This route strengthens our position in Boston and the region, one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. It will allow visitors to Calgary to take in the city's culture while Calgarians can enjoy the charms of Massachusetts' capital and largest city. U.S. customers will also be able to take advantage of plentiful connecting opportunities to our extensive domestic and global markets," said Mark Galardo, Vice President of Network Planning at Air Canada.

"We welcome Air Canada's sixth non-stop service to Boston. This new flight to Calgary will connect Boston to another hockey town and one of the largest cities in Canada," said Massport Aviation Director Ed Freni.
