Airberlin announced two new trans-Atlantic services from Dusseldorf (DUS) to Canada and the United States.

The carrier will operate four flights per week from the German city to Toronto (YYZ) beginning May 1, 2018, followed by five weekly services from Dusseldorf to Chicago (ORD) May 2, 2018. The Toronto service represents the first Canadian route for airberlin and the carrier says it’s planning the most extensive schedule in its history with 100 long-haul flights per week.

“We are writing the first chapter in the new airberlin’s success story,” said Gotz Ahmelmann, chief compliance officer, airberlin. “We now have three additional long-haul aircraft in our fleet. We are already the largest provider of U.S. flights in North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin. And we will continue to expand. Supplementing the U.S. program with additional flights to Canada is the next step on the road to success.”

The carrier increased its long-haul services from Dusseldorf Airport by 13 percent compared to last year, with a total of 57 weekly flights between Dusseldorf and the United States. It recently announced plans to boost U.S. services this winter with flights to San Francisco (SFO) operating over the winter period for the first time, and services to Orlando (MCO) expanding to year-round.
