Air Canada, Canada's national airline, has officially announced the resumption of direct regular service between Tel Aviv and Montreal. The first flights on this transatlantic route are scheduled to depart in May 2027, with three services per week. The route will connect Ben Gurion Airport in Israel with Montréal-Trudeau International Airport in Canada as part of a broader global network expansion.
Flights will be operated using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner wide-body, long-haul aircraft. The cabin configuration includes three classes of service: 30 lie-flat seats in Signature business class, 21 seats in premium economy, and 247 seats in economy class.
The return to Israel is a key component of Air Canada's extensive strategy, which involves launching 11 new long-haul destinations. This global expansion plan begins in November 2026, with initial new routes to cities like Guangzhou, Sapporo, Dubrovnik, and Quito. Tel Aviv is slated to be included in the second phase of this international network expansion, planned for the summer navigation season of 2027.
The airline is prioritizing the Boeing 787 family due to its fuel efficiency and long-range capabilities. Air Canada currently operates 40 Dreamliners and will begin receiving 14 additional, larger 787-10 models at the end of 2026. This direct route is expected to provide Israeli tourists and business travelers with a convenient option to reach Canada without layovers in Europe.
