The Cabildo de Tenerife has confirmed the launch of a new direct air route with Canada starting next October, operated by the airline Air Canada.

The service will include four weekly flights connecting Tenerife South Airport with the cities of Toronto and Montreal. This strategic agreement aims to strengthen the North American market presence in the Canary Islands, attracting high-value visitors interested in the island's cultural and natural offerings.
For these routes, the airline will deploy the Airbus A321XLR, an efficient aircraft designed for long-haul travel. The plane has a total capacity of 182 seats, divided between business and economy class, facilitating both leisure tourism and business or professional exchanges.
Official data confirms a steady growth in passenger arrivals from North America. During 2025, the island received over 51,000 travelers from this region, doubling the figures recorded before the pandemic in 2019. This positive trend continues in 2026, with over 22,000 North American passengers recorded between January and May.
