Halifax, NS – The city that never sleeps and Atlantic Canada are closer than ever with today’s launch of a new Air Canada service between Halifax Stanfield and New York (Newark Liberty International Airport).
The new non-stop service, which begins operations four times weekly and increases to daily flights on January 8, 2023, will transport travellers from gate to gate in under two hours, leaving more time for business or leisure activities upon arrival.
A Halifax – New York connection has been missing from Halifax Stanfield’s route map since the pandemic began, and today’s inaugural flight demonstrates the value of connecting Atlantic Canada’s largest airport and city with New York, a major hub in the Northeastern U.S. flight network and a global financial and commercial centre.
Halifax Stanfield’s U.S. preclearance facility also provides an advantage for departing passengers who can pre-clear U.S. Customs in Halifax, arriving in the U.S. as a domestic traveller. This means passengers from Halifax are not required to visit U.S. Customs upon arrival in Newark and can immediately explore all that New York has to offer or make their way to a connecting flight.
Air Canada’s new service is operated by Jazz Aviation LP on a 78-seat Air Canada Express regional aircraft between Halifax Stanfield and Newark Liberty International Airport, which has several easy transportation options into the heart of New York. The non-stop service is timed to connect conveniently to and from regional centres in Atlantic Canada and, in the U.S., with a variety of destinations through United Airlines' network.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
