On June 1, Air Canada began two new transatlantic routes from Montreal – Trudeau to Denmark and France. For this northern summer season, the company will offer 17 European destinations from the main city of the province of Quebec.
“ADM Aéroports de Montréal welcomes the addition of Copenhagen and Toulouse as Air Canada’s newest routes. Service to these two destinations will strengthen Montréal’s flight offerings and reinforce YUL’s status as a major international hub for air traffic“, said ADM CEO Philippe Rainville.
New destination in France
The new year-round service to Toulouse will provide a non-stop connection to Airbus’ two major aerospace hubs, as well as two dynamic French-speaking cities. In this segment, the airline will compete with the leisure carrier, Air Transat, which operates a seasonal route.
Flight AC 878 was operated on an Airbus A330 registered C-GEGI, taking off from Montreal International Airport (YUL) at 21:16 local time and landing at Toulouse Airport (TLS) at 10:15 the following day, after almost seven hours.

The route is operated on Airbus A330-300 aircraft with a capacity of 297 seats in three classes (32 Signature Class/24 Premium Economy/241 Economy) and promotional fares start at USD 860 each way. This new service offers connections to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and other destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Second route to Denmark
Copenhagen and Montreal are once again connected by air after 43 years thanks to Air Canada’s new seasonal service. This route will complement operations between Toronto and the Danish capital. The inauguration was marked by speeches from representatives of the Canadian Embassy in the Kingdom of Denmark, Air Canada and Copenhagen Airport.
