en.Wedoany.com Reported - Air Canada plans to launch a non-stop transatlantic service between Montreal and Dublin in May 2027, operated with Airbus A321XLR aircraft. According to schedule data released by AeroRoutes, the route will operate four times weekly, with a flight time of approximately eight hours, connecting Montréal–Trudeau International Airport with Dublin Airport.

The route previously appeared in Air Canada's 2026 planning but was subsequently removed from booking systems. Its reinstatement in the 2027 summer schedule marks Air Canada's renewed commitment to the Irish market. The Airbus A321XLR is specifically designed for long-haul routes with lower demand, offering lower operating costs than traditional wide-body aircraft. With a range exceeding 4,700 nautical miles, it can directly connect secondary North American cities with European destinations. Prior to the A321XLR operating this route, Air Canada will serve the Montreal–Dublin market with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft from May to December 2026, with Airbus A330-300 aircraft regularly scheduled based on demand.

According to route filing information, Air Canada plans to commence operations on May 2, 2027. Eastbound flights will depart Montreal in the evening and arrive in Dublin the following morning; westbound return flights will depart Ireland in the morning and arrive in Canada around local noon. Airline network planners are increasingly favoring long-range narrow-body aircraft for such routes, with Aer Lingus, American Airlines, and United Airlines all having outlined plans to operate A321XLR aircraft on transatlantic sectors in the coming years.
