Air Canada has launched flights connecting Montreal to Edinburgh, Scotland.

The inaugural flight departed from Montreal on the evening of June 26 and has now touched down in the Scottish capital.

“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 at Air Canada.

“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.”

Galardo noted the route offers opportunities for Canadians to explore Scotland and for Scottish travellers to discover Canada.

“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,” said Dave Jones, British Consul-General in Montreal.

“This connection will deepen ties between our communities and create fresh opportunities for partnership and discovery.”

Earlier this month, the airline launched Montreal–Porto and Toronto–Prague flights, following May’s debut of its Naples service and the return of Ottawa–London Heathrow in April.

The Edinburgh flights will be operated using Air Canada’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
