AFTER the five-year hiatus, Canada's largest airline, Air Canada, has resumed flights between Toronto Pearson Airport and Piarco International Airport beginning May 2.

The Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft, featuring in-seat entertainment and free WiFi will operate three times weekly, on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

The flights initially stopped in 2020 owing to challenges brought on by the covid19 pandemic, however, TT Airports Authority general manager Hayden Newton said Air Canada's return signalled the continued recovery of international air travel.
