Air Canada launched new daily nonstop service between Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) and Montreal, Quebec, Canada (YUL) on Friday.
In celebration, travelers on the first flight were treated with cake, bag tags, and other giveaways.
The flight presents a great opportunity to boost tourism between the two cities, both full of history and charm. Another critical component is business travel in which the flight builds on the strength of the commercial trade partnerships between the Tri-State area and Canada.
Canada is Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana’s top export destination.
