Air Creebec Now Connects Saguenay and Montreal
Montreal, QC — July 8, 2026
Air Creebec is proud to announce the addition of a new scheduled route to its network, connecting Saguenay-Bagotville (YBG) and Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) starting August 10, 2026.
This new service will offer two return flights daily, Monday to Friday — one in the morning and one in the evening — giving residents, business travellers and visitors of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region a reliable, efficient connection to the city. Montreal travellers will benefit just as much from this route for their business trips to the region or to discover Saguenay.
As a regional airline 100% owned by the Cree Nation, Air Creebec has been committed for more than 40 years to connecting the regions of Quebec and Ontario. Adding Saguenay to its network reflects its ongoing commitment to supporting regional economic development and strengthening ties between communities.
"Adding Saguenay to our network represents an important milestone in our growth. We are proud to offer the region a new reliable and efficient transportation option."
Eligible travellers may also benefit from the Regional Air Access Program (RAAP), offering 50% off flights between Saguenay and Montreal. Certain conditions apply.
Bookings are open now at aircreebec.ca.
