MONTREAL — Air Canada’s expanded winter network now includes Quito as well as year-round service to Manchester and Copenhagen, two sun destinations from Calgary, and increased winter services to Latin America destinations.

The airline’s winter route expansions follow plans announced earlier this month to launch the only nonstop flights from North America to Sapporo.

Quito will be served three times per week from Montreal, and once weekly from Toronto, both starting in early December 2026 using B787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.

In South America, Air Canada is expanding its schedule to Brazil, Peru and Chile, with earlier starts and more frequencies on services to Rio and Lima as well as its newly-launched flights between Montreal and Santiago. Into Colombia, Air Canada’s flights to Bogota will use the B787 Dreamliner fleet.

Flights from Toronto to Manchester and Copenhagen will become year-round as of October. Both routes will be operated onboard the airline’s newest fleet type, the Airbus A321XLR featuring the first Air Canada narrow-body aircraft to offer Signature Class lie-flat seats. These additions are enabled by the airline’s new Airbus A321 XLR base at Toronto-Pearson, complementing a previously announced base at Montreal-Trudeau.

Meanwhile Air Canada’s customers in Calgary will now be able to fly nonstop to Cancun and Puerto Vallarta as of December 2026 with Air Canada Rouge’s fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Flights from YYC to Cancun will be offered four times per week, with three flights a week to Puerto Vallarta.

Flights are available for purchase now.

“With a comprehensive network spanning all six inhabited continents, Air Canada’s expanded winter schedule further cements our hubs as premier global gateways facilitating fast, convenient travel. These exciting new additions and enhancements are a catalyst to facilitating tourism, trade and connectivity, and deliver more compelling opportunities for our customers and Aeroplan Members to travel almost anywhere in the world to, from or via Canada,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, and President of Cargo at Air Canada.

“We are continuing our strategic expansion into Latin America, taking advantage of continued demand strength and cargo opportunities, while leveraging a new Airbus A321 XLR base at our Toronto-Pearson global hub to enable year-round service to Copenhagen and Manchester. We are also capitalizing on growing demand and Vancouver’s unique geography to add our first-ever service to Sapporo, the only non-stop from North America to this world-recognized winter leisure destination, while bringing two new options for our brand loyal customers in Calgary seeking out the warmth of Mexico’s beaches,” added Galardo.
