On Thursday (November 2, 2023), Air Canada announced an expansion of their offer to Scandinavia with new seasonal service to Stockholm, Sweden from summer 2024. Starting June 12, 2024, the carrier will offer three weekly flights to Stockholm from Montreal and two weekly flights from Toronto. The carrier will also expand capacity on their year-round route between Toronto and Copenhagen, with daily flights from May 1st through October 31, 2024. Additionally, seasonal Montreal-Copenhagen service will start earlier on May 2, 2024, increasing to up to five weekly flights in June.
In Thursday’s announcement, Air Canada’s EVP – Revenue and Network Planning, Mark Galardo, said,
“We continue our strategy of building international scale at our Toronto and Montreal global hubs and we are very pleased to deepen Air Canada’s longstanding presence in Northern Europe with the addition of flights to Stockholm. Toronto and Montreal are the third and fourth largest trans-Atlantic gateways, and we continue strengthening our hubs' reach with our increased services to Scandinavia.
“Toronto and Montreal have been strategically developed to facilitate convenient connections throughout Air Canada's extensive North American network and, with non-stop Dreamliner flights to Stockholm, we offer customers choice and ease while travelling between North America and Sweden's capital city for business development, tourism, or visiting friends and family. Together with our added capacity to Copenhagen, we will operate up to 17 weekly flights this summer from Toronto and Montreal to Stockholm and Copenhagen. We look forward to welcoming customers onboard our flights.”
Air Canada originally launched service to Scandinavia in 2010 with service between Toronto and Copenhagen, later adding Montreal-Copenhagen service in 2023. The new flights to Stockholm will be operated with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner featuring three cabins, including Signature Class with fully lie-flat seats, Premium Economy and Economy Class.
