Welcome Return: Nonstop Flights between Edinburgh and Air Canada’s Toronto Hub

The return of nonstop service between Edinburgh and Air Canada’s hub in Toronto has been welcomed.

The flights are scheduled to run as frequently as daily during the summer peak and three times a week throughout the upcoming winter season beginning 8th January 2024.

Present plans are for the service to resume in early spring 2024. There are three cabin classes on board Boeing 787 Dreamliners: Economy Class, Premium Economy, and Signature Class. To “optimise connectivity” to Air Canada’s North American network, all flights are timed.

General sales manager for the UK and Ireland at Air Canada, Stephen Gerrard, stated: “We are delighted once again to be flying from the Scottish capital with our newly extended non-stop service between Edinburgh and Toronto.

“Our customers in Scotland will benefit from this direct link to our Toronto hub and beyond to destinations across the Americas in both the summer and winter seasons.

Jonathan Macneal, head of aviation at Edinburgh airport, added: “It’s great to see the Air Canada tailfin back at Edinburgh airport, especially knowing it will be here for a longer duration than ever before now that it stretches into the winter months.

“Toronto continues to be a destination that generates excitement with passengers and we’re thrilled to be able to provide that direct link – and of course we look forward to welcoming the thousands of Canadian travellers who want to see the very best of Edinburgh and Scotland.”
