Air Canada has announced new European routes and plans to resume some routes to Japan next summer to expand international service.

The Montreal-based airline plans to resume flights from Toronto to Tokyo Haneda and from Vancouver to Osaka starting next summer. It resumed flights to Tokyo Narita Airport back in April.

The announcement comes after Japan introduced new border measures this fall, allowing all foreigners with proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test result to enter Japan, easing two-year pandemic restrictions.

Air Canada also plans to expand its European routes by adding Toronto-Brussels, Montreal-Toulouse and Montreal-Copenhagen flights beginning June 1, 2023.

The airline said it will also increase the frequency of its current international routes in the Atlantic, Pacific and South America regions, including flights to Tokyo Narita, Frankfurt and Dubai.

The announcement is part of Air Canada’s plan to expand global services in response to growing demand for international travel.
