The carrier – which initially announced the resumption of services in late March – said the schedule will go up to daily flights during the summer season, moving to three times a week into the winter. 

“Our customers in Scotland will benefit from this direct link to our Toronto hub and beyond to destinations across the Americas in both the summer and winter seasons,” Air Canada general manager Stephen Gerrard said on Thursday (8 June). 

Agents will be able to book customers on three different cabin types, from lie-flat seats in the Signature class to cheaper seats in Premium Economy and Economy. The announcement was welcomed by the airport’s head of aviation, Jonathan Macneal, who said it was great to see the carrier “tailfin back at Edinburgh.”

Edinburgh is not the only European destination to see a return of Air Canada, as the airline announced on Tuesday it was resuming direct summer services from Dublin to Vancouver and Montreal until the end of September.
