Air Canada returns to Lambert | local business

ST. LOUIS COUNTY — Air Canada is returning to St. Louis Lambert International Airport after a two-year pandemic hiatus.

Beginning May 7, Canada’s largest airline will begin a daily non-stop service to Toronto Pearson International Airport.

“People are ready to travel and we’re excited to resume service between St. Louis and Toronto,” said Mark Galardo, Air Canada’s head of planning.

Galardo said demand for travel is increasing, noting that the service will be linked to flights worldwide.

Air Canada plans to add a second flight to and from Toronto, Canada’s largest city, by June.

The airline last served Lambert two years ago as the pandemic swept the region.
