TOKYO — ZIPAIR (ZG) plans to begin Tokyo Narita (NRT)–Toronto Pearson (YYZ) service on March 2, 2027. Reservations opened November 12 for travel through October 30, 2027, but the airline says the schedule is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
The published timetable starts with three weekly roundtrips on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. A Monday service is added from March 29, bringing the schedule to four weekly roundtrips.
A Second Canadian Destination
Toronto will join Vancouver in ZIPAIR's Canadian network. The Japan Airlines subsidiary plans to use 290-seat Boeing 787-8 aircraft, according to Aviation Week's route report. That report identifies Air Canada (AC) as the current nonstop operator between Japan and Toronto.
ZIPAIR describes the planned service as the first nonstop Toronto route by a Japanese airline. Its announcement identifies business, study, tourism and sports travel as sources of demand, alongside Canadian visitors traveling to Japan.
For travelers comparing prices, the airline's fare conditions matter alongside the base fare. ZIPAIR says the route carries no fuel surcharge, while checked baggage, meals and cabin baggage above 7kg attract separate charges. Airport charges and taxes are also additional. These conditions make a total trip-price comparison more useful than a comparison of advertised starting fares alone.
