Air Canada has announced a “major expansion” at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport with new transborder routes to four major US cities and increased daily flights to Montreal and Ottawa.
Beginning in Spring 2026, Air Canada will launch new, non-stop return services four-times-daily to New York's LaGuardia Airport, three-times-daily to Boston Logan International Airport, twice-daily to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, and daily to Washington Dulles International Airport.
The start of transborder services from Billy Bishop will follow the opening of US Customs pre-clearance at the island airport.
“The new transborder routes will especially benefit our loyal customers and business travellers by creating frequent and easy connections between the heart of Canada's financial capital and major markets of New York, Boston, Washington, and Chicago," said Mark Galardo, EVP, chief commercial officer, and president of cargo at Air Canada.
In January 2026, Air Canada will add new daily flights from Toronto Island. This includes an additional flight to Montreal, bringing the service to nine return flights daily. Between the island and Ottawa, the carrier is adding two frequencies to bring the number of total daily return trips to six.
