"As travel restrictions ease, we are committed to rebuilding our international network to connect the world to Canada, reunite people with families, friends, and business colleagues,” said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President, Network Planning and Revenue Management at Air Canada. “Our Santo Domingo flights connect to and from our flights across Canada at our Toronto global hub to offer easy and convenient access to Dominican Republic’s capital city, a destination that is steeped in rich culture, history including location of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in addition to being the country’s commercial and financial centre. With our industry-leading CleanCare+ biosafety protocols, Air Canada has health and safety as its top priority. We look forward to welcoming our customers on board."

Fabien Gourdon, Chief Commercial Officer of Aerodom said: "We are delighted to receive at SDQ this new direct flight from YYZ with Air Canada, which will allow more Canadian tourists to visit the magnificent hotels and the wide variety of recreation and entertainment options the Dominican Republic has to offer. This route will also serve the growing business and visiting friends and relatives demand; and will allow to expand the growing cargo exchange between both countries."

Santo Domingo, often called ‘La Capital’ is a rather mixed city of different cultures, styles and people a testament to its rich and vibrant history.  There are many different neighbourhoods to explore and soak up the sights and sounds of life here, you're life will be so much the richer for doing so. You'll probably hear merengue beating out from shops, bars or even houses that will help lift the spirits, probably. In the colonial zone, you'll find an ancient European style fortress, cobbled streets, decent stores, old churches and some rather posh eating places.  There are clubs here as well as elsewhere in the city where you'll be able to get to know the locals as well as living it up in true Caribbean style.
