Air Canada Adds YTZ U.S. Routes, Boosting Operations

Air Canada is increasing its presence at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ), adding new U.S. routes and increasing flight frequency on existing ones. This expansion marks a significant step for the airline at the downtown Toronto airport.

The new routes will connect YTZ to three U.S. destinations: New York LaGuardia (LGA), Washington Reagan National (DCA), and Chicago O’Hare (ORD). These additions are scheduled to commence in early April, with flights beginning on April 1st, 2024.

Air Canada will operate these new routes using its De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. The airline is also increasing the number of daily flights on its existing YTZ to Boston (BOS) and Montreal (YUL) services. This enhancement includes adding a third daily flight to Boston and a fourth daily flight to Montreal.

The expansion at YTZ is part of Air Canada’s broader strategy to leverage the airport’s convenient downtown location. The new services are expected to enhance connectivity for both business and leisure travelers between Toronto and these key U.S. cities.
