The new services, operated via Frankfurt in cooperation with Air Canada's global alliance partner, Lufthansa, begin operation September 1, 1996.
Seats are available for sale beginning today.
The addition of Athens and Prague to the Air Canada network marks another step in the expansion of our global alliance with Lufthansa. The Air Canada-Lufthansa alliance offers excellent connections from across its North American and European networks for transatlantic travel. Passengers' baggage will be checked through to their final destination and boarding cards will be given at the first point of check-in. Aeroplan members also benefit from having more destinations to accumulate and redeem Aeroplan miles. Air Canada currently operates Boeing 747 aircraft between Toronto and Frankfurt, and Boeing 767-300 aircraft between Calgary and Frankfurt.
