On 7 June 2025, Air Canada launched a new direct flight route between Prague and Toronto, marking a historical moment as this is the first trans-Atlantic flight after the pandemic that resumed connections between the nations, bringing increased connectivity between two gems for tourists.
Increased connectivity, boosted tourism
This new Toronto-Prague route, with 3 scheduled departures to both sides throughout the week, resumes a connection between Prague and Toronto that has been cut off since the start of the pandemic, according to Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Board of Prague Airport:
“The last time Prague had a regular connection to Toronto was before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. We are therefore very pleased that this route has returned to our long-haul offering in cooperation with Air Canada. We also welcomed the airline’s decision to operate the route with higher-capacity aircraft than initially planned. We expect approximately 25,000 passengers to use the route in both directions this year.”
With Prague Airport handling over 8.5 million people in just over 120 minutes, this new route certainly brings opportunities to boost tourism in both Prague and Toronto, both gems on their own continents.
Following the new route connecting Montreal to Porto, Canada Air expands its route map with ambition this summer, connecting travellers to popular tourist destinations.
Know More about Prague
Located in Central Europe, Prague is the capital city of the Czech Republic, overflowing with architectural and cultural gems that encapsulate the wonders of Central Europe. Climbing up the hill where the Prague Castle is located, you can take in the view of the whole city, then walk across Charles Bridge to the Old Town Square and gaze at the renowned Astronomical Clock, then head into one of the markets for one of the famous Trdelník “chimney cakes.”
This new flight will definitely bring boosted tourism in both Prague and Toronto, and perhaps reshuffle the travel wish-list of some waiting to explore Prague.
