MONTREAL — Air Canada is expanding its winter sun offering for the 2026-27 season with a series of new routes, highlighted by the only non-stop flights from North America to Tenerife.

The new service marks a significant addition to the carrier’s global network and introduces Canadian travellers to the Canary Islands destination known for its year-round warm climate and volcanic landscapes. Flights to Tenerife will operate from both Toronto and Montreal with brand new A321XLR aircraft featuring lie-flat seats in Business Class. Flights are now available for booking, with vacation packages to follow.

“The addition of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, reflects our continued ambition to offer our customers and Aeroplan members an exceptional, diversified array of unique Air Canada destinations,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, and President of Cargo at Air Canada. “Travellers on the only non-stop service from North America now have convenient options to reach the island renowned for its stunning volcanic scenery, a rich array of bucket-list activities and year-round warm weather.”

According to Dimple Melwani, CEO of Tenerife Tourism, the island has spent several years working to improve its presence in key markets like Canada. “This connection with Air Canada affords us the opportunity to give Tenerife a boost in these markets with growing demand, not only as a vacation destination but also as a global hub in strategic sectors such as business and corporate tourism, the audiovisual and cultural industries, as well as cruise tourism with multi-stop itineraries.”

In addition to Tenerife, Air Canada is adding new destinations across Latin America and the Caribbean. These include: Montreal–Roatán, Honduras; Toronto–Roatán; Montreal–Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Toronto–Mérida, Mexico; and Vancouver–Mazatlán, Mexico. 

The airline is also increasing capacity with new non-stop routes to popular sun destinations across Mexico and the Caribbean. These include: Vancouver–Liberia, Costa Rica; Vancouver–Monterrey, Mexico; Vancouver–Puerto Escondido, Mexico; Montreal–Aruba; Calgary–Cancun; Calgary–Puerto Vallarta; Edmonton–Montego Bay; Winnipeg–Montego Bay; Winnipeg–Punta Cana; Quebec City–Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe; and Halifax–Bridgetown, Barbados.

“Together, with our previously announced new services to Sapporo and Quito and our new leisure options from Calgary to Mexico, Air Canada continues to deepen its industry-leading network, proudly connecting Canada globally,” Galardo added.
