Air Canada announced new summer 2025 flights and here's what it means for Vancouver Airport

Air Canada is bringing new flight routes for the 2025 summer, and people travelling from Vancouver will have another non-stop option for a getaway.

Air Canada's new seasonal services will mean increased capacity and flights to popular destinations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. While some flights are brand new for the summer 2025, others are returning for the busy season.

"We will be offering 160,000 weekly seats to the U.S. during the peak of next summer, including new routes from Vancouver to Nashville and Montreal to Cincinnati," the press release said.

New flight routes to Europe are all from Montreal and Toronto, offering travellers non-stop options to Naples, Prague and Porto. Ottawa is also getting a new flight, direct to London, for the summer.

From Vancouver International Airport the new non-stop flight is to Nashville, and it will run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from May 1 to October 23.

These flights are also timed strategically, to make it easier for Vancouver travellers to get to international destinations. "For customers, Air Canada's transborder flights are timed to allow for easy connections at major hubs with our international network," the release said.

"In the Summer 2025 peak, Air Canada will offer over 100,000 weekly seats to Europe and North Africa, and over 160,000 to the United States, to provide more options for travelers to explore both sides of the Atlantic," the release added.
