JWA | Wanna Fly North for the Summer? Air Canada’s New Toronto to OC Service marks John Wayne Airport’s First International Service by Terence Loose
On April 8, 2010 Air Canada’s first flight from Toronto to John Wayne Airport in Orange County touched down just after 8 p.m., establishing JWA’s first international route. The return flight will take off just 12 hours later, at 8 a.m., Friday. But don’t worry, if you miss this one, you can catch another, thanks to the new year-round service aboard a 120-seat Airbus A319.
The contact increases the number of non-stop destinations from John Wayne Airport to 20 and the number of commercial airlines offering service from Orange County to 11 (plus two commuter airlines). It also marks Air Canada’s dedication to its major summer expansion of routes between Toronto and California, including a new route to San Diego, more service to San Francisco and the introduction of a wide-body aircraft featuring Air Canada’s industry leading Executive First service with lie flat suites on select flights to Los Angeles.
