en.Wedoany.com Reported - Air Canada recently announced that it will officially launch a long-haul route to Tenerife in Spain's Canary Islands during the winter of 2026-2027. The route will be operated by the Airbus A321XLR fleet, making it the only direct flight from North America to Tenerife South Airport (TFS).

According to the flight schedule, Montreal Trudeau International Airport (YUL) will offer round-trip flights every Saturday, while Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) will operate flights every Thursday and Sunday. The deployment of the A321XLR, a new generation ultra-long-range narrow-body aircraft, marks Air Canada's entry into transatlantic operations with narrow-body jets. By optimizing fleet size matching, this move aims to enhance its coverage efficiency in the winter leisure travel market.

Meanwhile, Air Canada is expanding its Airbus A220 base at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and utilizing this aircraft type, along with its subsidiary Air Canada Rouge, to expand its business in Latin America. New direct flight destinations include Mazatlán, Monterrey, Puerto Escondido in Mexico, and Liberia in Costa Rica.

Through this fleet configuration adjustment, Air Canada has achieved route network synergy between its Vancouver hub and its eastern core hubs. This expansion strategy leverages the long-range capability of the A321XLR and the flexibility of the A220. By increasing the number of direct flight points, it further optimizes logistics and passenger connectivity between North America and the Atlantic Islands as well as Latin America.
