Air Canada and United have both announced plans to add more flights between Canada and the United States for the summer of 2027.
Air Canada and United will add non-stop flights from Toronto, Montréal and Edmonton to US cities and grow links at several other airports in summer 2027.
Air Canada and United Airlines announced on October 16, 2026, that they will grow their flight networks between Canada and the United States next summer. The plan includes new non-stop routes, more seats on some links and a renewed partnership.
Air Canada will start three new routes. Toronto Pearson will connect to Louisville, Montréal-Trudeau will connect to Indianapolis, and Edmonton will connect to Newark Liberty.
The Toronto–Louisville flight begins on 28 April 2027. It will run less often at first and then become a daily flight in May. The seasonal route is set to run until 31 October 2027.
Air Canada will fly daily between Montréal and Indianapolis from 1 June 2027. The two airlines will also grow connections that involve St. John's, Denver, Ottawa, Québec City, Washington Dulles and Winnipeg.
What it means for travelers
These routes give travelers more non-stop choices between Canada and the US. Fewer stops can save time on trips to Kentucky, Indiana and the New York area. More seats on other links may also give travelers more flight options next summer.
