Updates from Air Canada

Air Canada is scheduled to resume service between Canada and Israel beginning June 8, 2025.

The service will initially consist of four non-stop, return flights a week from Toronto. Starting in August, there will be an additional weekly non-stop, return flight from Montreal.

Air Canada has a longstanding commitment to the Canada-Israel market and looks forward to the resumption of service between the two countries. In preparation, Air Canada has undertaken extensive safety and security reviews, including consultations with Canadian and foreign government authorities, unions representing its flight crews, and security experts. It has also consulted with other major international airlines that are resuming or expanding service to the region.

Air Canada continues to closely monitor the situation in the region. It will continue to do so leading up to and after the return of service and, for the safety and well-being of its customers and crews, may adjust its schedule should security and safety protocols require. As market and other conditions warrant, it intends to further increase service with more frequencies in the future.

Travel better in Economy Class

Air Canada has made complimentary beer and wine a permanent offering in Economy Class on all domestic and U.S. flights*. Travellers can enjoy a carefully curated selection of craft beers, red and white French wines, and complimentary premium snacks, as they toast their travel journeys.

*Valid on flights within Canada and mainland USA, Alaska and Hawaii, operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, and Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz. 

Air Canada to Offer Fast, Free Wi-Fi

Air Canada plans to roll out fast, free, streaming-quality Wi-Fi, sponsored by Bell. Beginning May 2025, this complimentary service will be available to Aeroplan Members on Wi-Fi equipped aircraft for flights within North American and Sun markets. Air Canada plans on expanding the service to long-haul international routes in 2026.

Those without the Aeroplan membership can purchase the Wi-Fi for their flight at a reduced flat fee.
