(PRESS RELEASE) MONTREAL, CANADA, 2024-Nov-8 — /Travel PR News/ — Air Canada is expanding its intermodal travel options by introducing new rail and bus connections in Italy, Spain, Britain, and South Korea, providing customers with convenient onward land connections across Europe and Asia. Following the success of its initial intermodal strategy launched in December 2023 in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, Air Canada is now partnering with Trenitalia, Renfe, five UK rail operators including National Express, and KORAIL in South Korea.

Enabled through a partnership with AccesRail, passengers can now book both air and land segments on the Air Canada website, making it easy to create a comprehensive travel plan. Customers can also check in for train or bus journeys through AccesRail, and in case of disruptions, Air Canada will rebook both air and land segments, ensuring a smooth experience.

In Italy, connections from Rome and Milan to Trenitalia’s extensive network allow passengers access to 30 destinations, including Florence and Naples. In Spain, connections from Barcelona and Madrid link to 24 locations across the country.
