"I would like to congratulate and thank Air Canada for adding San Juan, Puerto Rico to its already impressive list of non-stop destinations served from Montreal," said James Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aeroports de Montreal. "This new service will offer one more option to our passengers seeking to diversify their sun destinations."
