Looking for a “Roman holiday” this summer? Getting there can be made more convenient for local travellers after Air Transat announced last month a new, seasonal service between YVR and Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO). The flights depart YVR weekly until Oct. 7 and are the first non-stop service from Vancouver to Italy. The new service will use an Airbus A330-200 with a capacity of 345 seats, including 12 in Club Class (business class). The new service is expected to add 60 jobs to the local economy.
