EDMONTON, Feb. 6 /CNW Telbec/ - The departure today of Air Canada flight
AC 1864 marks the launch of new, non-stop, scheduled flights from Edmonton to
Montego Bay, one the most popular sun destinations in Jamaica. This seasonal
service will operate every Tuesday until April 17, 2007.
    "Air Canada's newest service to the warm sun and beaches of the Caribbean
offers Edmonton-area residents direct access to the laid back, relaxed island
life of Montego Bay. With its consistently good weather, wide choice of beach
resorts and rich culture, Montego Bay is a great choice to escape the snow and
cold," said Daniel Shurz, Vice President, Network Planning. "Today's flight
departure marks the third new sun destination launched from Edmonton in
conjunction with Air Canada Vacations this winter season, reflecting strong
leisure travel demand from Northern Alberta."
    "We are pleased to introduce another great holiday option to the
Caribbean for Edmonton travelers. Montego Bay is a natural choice. We've been
sending Canadians there for over two decades, ever since the beginning of the
all-inclusive concept. Today, we offer dozens of resorts in Montego Bay and
surrounding areas, including seven ultra all-inclusive Sandals & Beaches
resorts," said Louise Le Beau Air Canada Vacations' Vice President Payload and
