Starting next October, Air Canada will connect Tenerife South airport with Toronto and Montreal. This new winter operation will have two weekly flights to each of the Canadian cities.

The connections will be operated with Airbus A321XLR aircraft, a model with capacity for 182 passengers (14 in business class and 168 in economy class).

This move is part of Turismo de Tenerife's roadmap to consolidate the island in key markets such as North America. According to the Cabildo, the purpose is to consolidate Tenerife as a preferred destination for high-net-worth travelers, highlighting the island's exclusive attractions.

Interest from this market is increasing according to the latest official data. In 2025, 51,174 North American travelers (44,044 Americans and 7,130 Canadians) arrived on the island.

Between January and May 2026, 22,168 passengers from both countries have been registered, a figure that doubles pre-pandemic connectivity levels.

Margaret Skinner, Air Canada's commercial manager for Europe, highlighted that the airline seeks to expand its customers' options by exclusively connecting the archipelago with its global network of destinations.

For his part, the company's sales director in Spain, José Blázquez, underlined the strategic advantage of these flights, as they will facilitate quick connections for travelers from Toronto and Montreal to destinations in Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean.
