On Wednesday, Nov. 29 Vancouver International
Airport announced the initiation of non-stop flights between YVR and
Sacramento, California.
Whether you go for Beer Week, the annual
French Film Festival, the Horror Film Festival, or the atmosphere of
acceptance, Air Canada’s direct flights start May 17, 2018 between our two
cities.
With a vibrant arts scene, a variety of
post-secondary institutions, and a large menu of museums, this city of half a
million people surprises visitors with its proximity to national forests as
well its depth of history and large list of things to do or see. And,
California’s wine-producing areas are well within driving distance.
According to Tess Messmer senior
communications specialist for the Vancouver Airport Authority, “YVR will be the
first Canadian airport to offer direct, non-stop service to the California
capital city, showcasing Air Canada’s commitment to building its Transpacific hub
in Vancouver.
Besides adding another convenient get-away
location for the people of B.C., Messmer says, “The new service will create
close to 80 new jobs and contribute $5.8 million to B.C.’s (gross domestic
product).”
