Air Canada Expands Summer 2025 Nonstop Network

DALLAS — Air Canada (AC) is expanding its summer 2025 network with new seasonal services and increased capacity to destinations in Europe, the United States, and Asia.

The new and restored routes are Montreal to Naples and Porto, Toronto to Prague and Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago, and Ottawa to London. The Canadian carrier will also add new Montreal-Cincinnati and Vancouver-Nashville services and resume its Toronto-Jacksonville route.

Additionally, travelers will have more frequent options to Rome and Athens, with up to three daily flights to each destination from Canada. AC is also expanding its service between Toronto and Stockholm, returning with up to four weekly frequencies, and between Toronto and Madrid, increasing its daily service. Furthermore, AC will deploy the Boeing 777-300ER from Toronto and Montreal to offer up to 1,300 daily seats on three flights between Canada and the French capital.

From Montreal, AC will also increase service to Casablanca to daily, a 17% increase over the previous summer. Moreover, AC will introduce a year-round, four-times-weekly service from Toronto to Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago.

Comments from Air Canada Executive

"Air Canada is pleased to provide our customers a wide array of destinations for their Summer 2025 travel. By leveraging our hubs in Toronto and Montreal we will offer more than 100,000 weekly seats to 30 destinations across Europe and North Africa at the peak of next summer," said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning, at Air Canada. "This will include new services from Montreal to Naples and the Amalfi Coast, as well as Porto and the Douro Valley, opening up new regions for travellers to explore throughout Southern Europe that complement existing services across the Mediterranean and the Iberian Peninsula.

Galardo added, "And we are also excited to be resuming service to Prague from Toronto, restoring another popular destination to the Air Canada network, and to London-Heathrow from Ottawa, restarting Air Canada's intercontinental flying from Canada's capital. In addition, we are restoring Toronto to Port of Spain flights, with year-round service."
