LaRonde Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Is it going to be a Mtl Beijing flight only?Will Air China cover Mtl Shanghai? It is going to be a Beijing-Montreal-Havana flight. Shanghai will not be covered. Apparently, there are solid negotiations going on for direct flights to Poland and Iceland from YUL.

qwerty Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 AC says that it is difficult to get additional flight from Beijing to Canada. Mark_ac, do you know if the situation in Shanghai airport is the same as in Beijing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nephersir7 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Could you try to track down this article? ici: http://journalmetro.com/actualites/montreal/767298/trois-dossiers-a-suivre-sur-le-front-touristique-montrealais/ Même si Pékin n’a pas encore officialisé le tout, il est désormais acquis que Montréal sera relié à la capitale chinoise à partir du 28 septembre via Air China. «La compagnie aérienne l’a déjà annoncé dans son bulletin interne», indique M. Lalumière qui se félicite de l’ouverture de ce nouveau marché qui devrait faire monter les recettes touristiques de l’ordre de 7,5M$. cette année, il n’y aura pas seulement plus de touristes Chinois à Montréal, mais aussi plus de Hongrois et de Mexicains avec l’ouverture de lignes directes vers Budapest et Mexico City. Les négociations sont aussi bien avancées pour des liaisons vers la Pologne et l’Islande en 2016. En 2017, Tourisme Montréal espère attirer 5 millions de visiteurs, soit presque 28% de plus qu’en 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acpnc Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 ici: http://journalmetro.com/actualites/montreal/767298/trois-dossiers-a-suivre-sur-le-front-touristique-montrealais/ Très encourageant. Il faut s'ouvrir à de nouveaux marchés et il semble que ce seront les compagnies étrangères qui vont prendre le relais. Chaque nouvelle route est importante et est susceptible de permettre de nouvelles opportunités de correspondances. De toute façon rien ne nous empêche d'essayer de rentabiliser au maximum nos installations et notre potentiel. Si on attend stupidement que l'économie soit à son zénith, on aura alors perdu de précieuses années de croissance. D'autant que l'industrie aérienne est un moteur de développement dont il faut se servir pour pour le bénéfice de notre économie, et non le contraire.

De source très très très sûre, Aéroports de Montréal débuterait TRÈS BIENTÔT une campagne de publicité faisant la promotion du vol Mtl-Pékin.

peekay Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 This was discussed in January: http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2015/01/15/new-flights-montreal-and-tel-aviv-and-some-nice-hotel-deals-beijing Residents of Quebec will rejoice with the news that non-stop flights to Montreal have finally arrived. Hainan Airlines will start flying from Beijing to Montreal and back on June 1, with Air China following on September 28. This makes me wonder if the trip I've wanted to make to Halifax for a year now will finally be convenient, and more importantly, affordable. In any case, just as residents of Boston and the rest of New England were liberated from connections in Toronto, Chicago, or New York earlier this year, when Hainan Airlines began direct service, so too will be the residents of Montreal. China's most aggressive airline won't just be satisfied with French Canada either. Hainan Airlines (again) will begin non-stop service to Tel Aviv in Israel, starting in September. El Al already flies the route, but Hainan would become China's first airline to have service there. I'm sticking by the Talking Travel golden rule and Anthony Bourdain recommendation to bring your own food on long-haul plane flights. On Wednesday, I enjoyed a Chipotle burrito as I gazed out the window at the Golden Gate Bridge (above). It was a fine repast. I passed on the final meal of the trip, and went straight for ma la xiang guo upon arrival. It's the way to travel. One road flat safe.
