Air Canada adds new flights to Stockholm

Air Canada has announced new summer seasonal flights to Stockholm from Montreal and Toronto. The airline will operate three weekly flights from Montreal and two weekly flights from Toronto starting next June. The airline is also increasing capacity to Copenhagen from Toronto with daily flights beginning May 1, 2024 and will resume seasonal flights from Montreal earlier on May 2, 2024. With the recent news that SAS may be leaving Star Alliance for SkyTeam it appears that AC may be gearing up for the loss of the Scandinavian airline’s connectivity by next summer.
