Air Canada to Start San Antonio–Toronto Flights May 2026

Air Canada will launch seasonal nonstop service between San Antonio International Airport (SAT) and Toronto Pearson (YYZ) beginning in early May 2026 (announcements cite May 1–2), operating three weekly roundtrips on Airbus A220 aircraft. Flights will depart SAT Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday around 10:30 a.m. (arriving ~3:07 p.m.), with return service Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Toronto about 6:20 p.m. (arriving ~9 p.m.). The route is SAT’s first nonstop to Canada and its 10th international destination, restoring Air Canada service last flown in 2019. Tickets are on sale, with fares reported starting around $246 one-way. Air Canada plans broader transborder growth for Summer 2026, adding daily Montreal–Cleveland and Montreal–Columbus services and raising transborder capacity by roughly 15%. The addition comes as SAT advances a $2.5 billion, 20-year airport improvement plan.
