United is set to add a new service between the U.S. and Canada later this year. The airline currently operates over 160 flights between the two countries. 

The route is scheduled to commence on May 11, 2025, operating three times per week on WestJet’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

This week, Canadian low-cost carrier Flair Airlines announced an ‘On-Time Guarantee (OTG)’ initiative to compensate passengers for delayed and canceled flights.

The Canadian government has lifted pandemic-era caps on flights between Canada and China, paving the way for an increase in service.

Both carriers are securing strategic links, with Air Canada getting access to the Baltic States and airBaltic to the transatlantic flow to Toronto and Montreal.

Pilots at Canada’s largest airline voted in favor of a new four-year agreement last week, which now stands as Air Canada’s largest-ever labor contract.

Described as the airline’s largest-ever labor contract, the deal moves pilot compensation more in line with their U.S. peers.

Qatar Airways announced that it will launch a new service to Toronto Pearson International Airport starting in December 2024.

Pilots at Canada’s largest airline could walk off the job next month, after overwhelmingly voting in favor of giving their union a strike mandate.

Canada Jetlines, a small airline operating mainly from Toronto Pearson International Airport, announced it is grounding all flights.
