MONTREAL — Air Canada is offering a first look at what the airline calls its most comprehensive transborder schedule from its Vancouver hub.
For summer 2025 the carrier has added three new transborder routes to Tampa, Raleigh and Nashville, plus more capacity to Austin, Denver and Miami.
Together with partner United Airlines, Air Canada will offer up to 7,700 seats on 58 daily nonstop flights to 21 U.S. destinations next summer. That’s an 11% increase in seat capacity from summer 2024. All flights are now available for sale.
“We are pleased to further expand our YVR hub with new year-round flights to Tampa, seasonal services to Raleigh and Nashville, and more capacity to Austin, Denver and Miami. Air Canada continues to reinforce its position as the leading carrier between Canada and the U.S. with new flights to fast-growing metropolitan areas and sought out destinations,” said Mark Galardo, EVP, Revenue and Network Planning, and President, Cargo at Air Canada.
“More network news will be coming soon,” he added.
Air Canada’s transborder flights are timed to allow for easy connections with the airline’s international network. Travellers returning to the U.S. can also save time on arrival with the convenience of U.S. customs pre-clearance during their connection in Canada.
