YLW adding second daily flight to Toronto

KELOWNA – Air Canada will be adding a second daily flight between Kelowna to Toronto this summer.

The airline made the announcement last week saying the first flight will depart Toronto’s Pearson International Airport daily at 8:25 p.m. local time and arrive in Kelowna at 10 p.m., according to a City of Kelowna media release.

The A319 aircraft will then return to Toronto at 10:55 p.m. and arrive in Toronto at 6:10 a.m. local time.

YLW Airport Director Sam Samaddar says the extra flights will start June 22, 2018, just in time for their peak season.

“This service increases connectivity options for our travellers, both inbound and outbound from Kelowna," Samaddar says in the release.
