Air Canada is contemplating direct flights between Calgary and the Chinese capital of Beijing. If all goes well for the airline, it will soon have a flight between the cities carrying passengers on a transatlantic route. It believes many business concerns and tourism related business units are pressing for a strong demand to launch this service.

Air Canada, the flagship carrier of Canada operates service to over 178 destinations worldwide. It offers flight tickets to destinations in Asia, Europe, Americas, and Caribbean. The airline has been working closely with authorities since 2010. However, no confirmation on the same has been issued till date. For passengers who wish to fly to Beijing with the airline, the flight between Japanese capital of Tokyo and Calgary is the only viable option. It wants to capitalize on the growing demand and commence service that it deems profitable.

The airline is however, facing time slot issues in Beijing. To land in Beijing at an appropriate time it needs the right slot in the day and the crunch is responsible for delaying its plans. Beijing is a very busy city and has no time to spare for the outbound flights from Calgary. The airline is set to welcome the fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner next year and with the arrival intends to expand its international reach. The airline is popular with business travelers across the world. It offers services like priority check-ins, generous baggage allowance, flat bed seats, delectable meals, and onboard hospitality.
