Air Canada plans next summer to add three flights to Europe, and these flights will go to the Czech Republic, Italy, and Portugal.
Air Canada is adding new flights. On May 16, 2025, the flight will fly four times a week to Naples. The planes used will be Boeing 787-8, and on June 4, 2025, the flights to Porto will also fly four times a week.
Naples and Porto flights will start from Montreal. On May 20, 2025, the Prague flight will start from Toronto. It was last offered over five years ago.
To Italy to Naples, a new flight will be added by Air Canada. This will be its fourth Italian destination. flights to Porto to Portugal, Air Canada is also restarting again. In 2019, it stopped flying to Toronto, but now it’s starting to fly from Montreal. This will compete with another airline, Air Transat.

During the company’s second-quarter earnings call on Aug. 7, Mark Galardo—Air Canada’s executive vice president for revenue and network planning—said the airline had reduced its planned capacity growth for Atlantic routes by 8% and is redirecting those aircraft to Asia.
Atlantic performance was particularly impacted by a weak point of sale in Europe and the competitive pressures on the Canadian point of sale,” he said. “We are keeping a measured approach to capacity.” However, Galardo added that leisure demand remains buoyant, in particular to Mediterranean markets.
“Overall, we believe that the result of our [second quarter] performance in Europe is less about consumer weakness and more about competitive supply growth above what the market can sustain in the short term,
he said.
