Air Canada’s newest international route to the Scottish capital has been inaugurated

“We are very proud to launch service to Edinburgh from Montréal, our latest route strategically added to our extensive transatlantic network,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer and President, Cargo. “This new connection between Canada and Scotland deepens our ties and commitment to the UK market. Our Montreal-Edinburgh flights are designed to connect our customers across North America conveniently to Edinburgh with seamless travel through our Montréal hub. Whether visiting Scotland to reunite with friends and loved ones, explore its historic castles, enjoy the vibrant arts scene, or welcoming visitors from Scotland eager to discover the vast beauty and diversity of Canada, our flights make it easier than ever to experience all that our two nations have to offer.”

“Having had the privilege of living in both Edinburgh and Montreal, I’m delighted to see this new route bringing together two cities celebrated for their history, creativity, and cultural vitality. This connection will deepen ties between our communities and create fresh opportunities for partnership and discovery,” said Dave Jones, British Consul-General in Montreal.

“I am delighted that Air Canada has opened a new route between Montreal and Edinburgh, adding to the roster of direct flights that now link Scotland and Canada – growing even further the economic benefits and friendship that exists between our countries.  In a competitive aviation market, I welcome Air Canada’s continued commitment to Scotland and look forward to many Canadians taking the opportunity to visit, study or do business in Scotland,” said John Devine, Head of the Scottish Government in Canada

Montreal to Edinburgh is the latest new Europe route Air Canada has launched this summer. The airline inaugurated its Montreal to Porto and Toronto to Prague routes earlier this month, celebrated the launch of its Naples route in May, and marked the return of the Ottawa to London Heathrow route in April.
