Air Canada announced Wednesday it'll launch new flights direct between Hamilton and Montreal beginning in May.
The flights are scheduled to leave each airport twice daily except Saturday, which will have one flight each way.
The airline says it timed the flights so passengers could connect with flights to Atlantic Canada and Europe.
Air Canada's passenger airlines president, Benjamin Smith, cited the population of Ontario's Golden Horseshoe as a factor in deciding to launch the service in Hamilton.
"Hamilton is a convenient departure and arrival point for the business community as well as tourists, visiting friends and relatives," Smith said in a press release.
Montreal is a destination that Hamilton airport passengers have requested often, said Frank Scremin, president and CEO of the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport — both for business and for getaways.
The service is scheduled to begin on May 24. The airline says the flights will be on Jazz Aviation LP 50-seat Bombardier CRJ jets.
