#Traveltradetogether

Extra flights been added to Montreal and Vancouver following the pause of Dublin Airport’s passenger cap.

Air Canada, Canada’s largest airline and flag carrier, has announced a significant increase in capacity on its popular routes from Dublin, providing more choice and flexibility for Irish customers travelling across the Atlantic.

 

Following the announcement that Dublin Airport’s passenger cap has been paused for this summer, the global airline has added additional flights to the must-see cities of Montreal and Vancouver, while also continuing to provide year-round service to Toronto.

Starting this summer, Air Canada will increase its popular Dublin to Vancouver route from three to five times per week during peak periods, while also extending its operating season, to give Irish customers the opportunity to take their trip to new heights.

As the only airline to fly between Dublin and British Columbia, these extra flights are designed to give customers easy access to one of the country’s finest regions, boasting unspoilt scenery, cultural landmarks, and a thriving arts scene.

Departing Dublin on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and returning from Vancouver on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, flights will be operated by the airline’s fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners from 2 May 2025.

Those looking to marvel in the magic of Montreal are also in luck, with Air Canada increasing flights on its highly popular Dublin route for summer 2025.

The summer seasonal service, set to take to the skies on 2 June, will increase from three to four times per week, allowing travellers to explore the elegance and history of the city in under eight hours. Flights will depart the Irish city each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and return each Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.

 

Customers looking to top the CN Tower in world-famous Toronto can also enjoy daily flights from the Irish capital this summer, building on the four flights per week currently offered this winter. With flights operated by Air Canada’s state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliners, customers can cross the Atlantic with space and comfort, enjoying the only full-season wide-body service between Ireland and Toronto.

Irish customers looking to connect with Canada, can bag a bargain thanks to these extra flights, with return fares starting at €505 to Toronto, €558 to Montreal, and €665 to Vancouver, including taxes and charges*.

Bláithín O’Donnell, Air Canada Sales Manager, Ireland said: “It’s great to see such significant growth in this market, giving Irish customers more options to choose from when travelling to Canada, the US and beyond.

“The additional flights for 2025 highlight Air Canada’s impressive growth in the Irish market when compared to 2024 capacities, showing approximately 17% growth year on year.”

The increase in capacity also complements Air Canada’s existing flight connections to popular destinations outside of Canada. With seamless connections through hubs in Montreal and Toronto, customers can score savings to popular destinations such as Punta Cana, San Jose, Mexico City and Cancun, which are unserved from Ireland, or firm favourites in the US such as Orlando, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Air Canada’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft features three cabins of service for customers to choose from, including Signature Class with lie-flat seats, Premium Economy and Economy Class. The airline’s complimentary and extensive in-flight entertainment programming features more than 1,400 hours of movies, 1,900 hours of television shows and more than 600 hours of music and podcasts and where available, live tv is available at every seat. The award-winning IFE also features collaborations with Apple TV+, Audible, Disney+, Hayu, and others, bringing hours of movies, tv episodes, specialty channels, music albums, other video and audio content and games in multiple languages from boarding to landing.
