Starting in June, the Montreal-based carrier will fly nonstop to Accra, Ghana; Dakar, Senegal; and Reykjavik, Iceland. The airline will serve Accra from Toronto and Dakar and Reykjavik from Montreal.

Service to Ghana will operate from June 17 to Oct. 22, 2026, with two weekly flights on Wednesdays and Sundays.
