Briefing
Air Canada’s new nonstop to Tenerife creates a unique North America–Canary Islands link and expands its winter sun network, signaling greater carrier focus on transatlantic leisure markets as part of the Winter 2026/27 schedule.
The move fits a broader Canadian network shift away from adding new U.S. routes and toward Latin American and transatlantic flying, following recent capacity and route changes by Canadian carriers (see related reporting on Canadian transborder reductions and network redeployments) (source:f8bbbf13-6ab7-468c-ac95-b017d58ee3e7) (source:a4330852-aac6-4dea-bd89-aa85dd11bf07).
This launch follows expanding transatlantic capacity and new Toronto long‑haul links announced by European carriers, underlining rising competition and connectivity between Canada and Europe for 2026 (source:54c13017-b7ef-412e-9afc-245155a9f6d8).
