More Air Canada Flights to St. Vincent, Plus Agent Info Sessions In September

More flights to St. Vincent and The Grenadines. And more places for travel agents to learn about the destinatiion.

St. Vincent and The Grenadines Tourism Authority (SVGTA) said on Wednesday that it welcomes Air Canada’s decision to increase service and offer year-round Air Canada Rouge direct flights from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport to Argyle International Airport on the island of St. Vincent.

Weekly Thursday flights resume on Oct. 25, 2018 and will continue on a year-round basis. A second weekly flight will be operating on Sundays during the peak winter travel season, between Dec. 16, 2018 and April 28, 2019.

”Air Canada is pleased to offer increased frequency and year-round service to St. Vincent and the Grenadines beginning this winter. Our decision is based on the strong performance of this route when we launched it last year and we are proud to be the first North American carrier to serve the islands,” said Mark Galardo, Vice President, Network Planning, Air Canada.

This is the second year the airline has offered direct flights after the opening of the Argyle International Airport in St. Vincent on February 2017, and the first-time offering year-round to Canadian travellers. These flights are available on sale through www.aircanada.com or through a preferred travel agent.

“We are very excited to have such a recognized partner in Air Canada Rouge for the year-round direct flights,” said Glen Beache, CEO of SVGTA. “In opening Argyle International Airport last year, and now offering year-round flights out of Toronto for the first time, we look forward to welcoming even more Canadians travellers to St. Vincent and The Grenadines.”

The island of St. .Vincent proper is filled with beautiful nature, including magnificent waterfalls and beautiful rainforests. The Grenadines have some of the Caribbean's best sailing and prettiest beaches, with small islands such as Bequia, Mustique and Mayreau.
