Launch of new flight route between Edinburgh and Montreal

A new route between Edinburgh and Montreal will launch this summer as Air Canada grows its presence at Scotland’s busiest airport.

The summer seasonal route will operate three times a week from Edinburgh to Montreal between 27 June and 7 September and adds to Air Canada’s existing summer route to Toronto from Edinburgh airport.

It also expands the capital’s existing North America connectivity, with 11 destinations available to travellers this summer.

Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport, said:

“We see continued demand for direct links between Canada and Scotland, and that demand is both inbound and outbound, demonstrating the attractiveness of Edinburgh and Scotland to an international audience.

“This addition is also a big vote of confidence from Air Canada in Edinburgh’s market, and we look forward to welcoming this new route later this summer.”
