Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, and President, Cargo at Air Canada, said:
” Air Canada’s continued international expansion reflects our bold ambitions and leverages our network reach and scale to capitalise on global travel demand driven by leisure travel trends, growing demand for services to Asia, and cargo development opportunities. Next summer, we will be launching exciting, new services to Sicily and Mallorca from our Montréal trans-Atlantic hub. Air Canada is the first Canadian carrier to offer customers non-stop flights to these sought-after Mediterranean destinations, and the only airline operating scheduled service from Canada to Sicily and Mallorca.”

“Canadians will enjoy more travel options, greater convenience, and stronger connections to Europe and Asia with Air Canada’s new destinations in 2026. These expanded routes mean easier access to the places people want to go—whether for business, leisure, or to visit family. And as more passengers take flight, they promote trade and tourism, supporting jobs across the country, and helping us grow a stronger Canadian economy.”
The airline aims to strengthen its trade, investment, and people-to-people ties by expanding its network.
