AC resumes full London flight schedule
AIR Canada resumed full London flights last night (December 21) having been given permission by London Heathrow to increase its flights.
Passengers are urged to consult the company website www.aircanada.com for flight schedule updates and before travelling or going to the airport.
“Air Canada has been given permission to reinstate its full schedule of nine flights a day to London Heathrow following several days of sharp restrictions imposed on carriers by the airport.
“Unfortunately due to capacity restrictions at Heathrow and the fact our aircraft were already heavily booked prior to the holiday season, it may still take more than a week to move all passengers,” said Duncan Dee, Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer.
Air Canada is now operating its full schedule:
December 22, 2010
From London To:
AC849 Toronto
AC851 Calgary
AC855 Vancouver
AC857 Toronto
AC861 Halifax
AC865 Montreal
AC869 Toronto
AC889 Ottawa
AC899 Edmonton
Due to the high number of cancelled flights out of London Heathrow, Air Canada is unable to check passengers and baggage with connecting flights in London on other airlines through to their final destination. These passengers will need to retrieve their baggage upon arrival in London and proceed to check in with the carrier operating their connecting flight.
