Finnair relaunches long-haul flights to Canada after 11-year absence
Finnair is returning to Canada with new flights scheduled to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) after an 11-year absence.
The Finnish flag carrier confirmed on June 11, 2025, that after last flying to Toronto in summer 2015, a new dedicated service to the North American country will commence on May 4, 2026.
Finnair Airbus A330-300s will operate on the route three times a week with scheduled flights from Helsinki departing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays.
Flights will depart Helsinki at 16:50, local time, and arrive in Toronto at 18:35, local time, after an almost nine-hour flight. The return flights will leave for Finland later that same evening.
“We are excited to grow our North American network and bring Canada back as a destination. Toronto is a popular travel destination and offers especially our European customers great connections also to other parts of Canada,” says Christine Rovelli, Finnair’s Chief Revenue Officer.
In addition to Toronto, Finnair will fly next summer to New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle in North America.
Finnair will also add frequencies to Nordic capitals for the summer of 2026. Stockholm and Copenhagen will get seven, and Reykjavik two additional weekly frequencies.
In April 2025, Finnair also announced it will fly to Alta via Kittilä five times a week until October 22, 2026.
