Air Canada has a long and proud history of serving Scotland, with our first flight arriving in Prestwick in 1943,.

“Our non-stop flight between Edinburgh and Toronto will provide our customers in Scotland with a direct link to Canada and beyond, as countries reopen and border measures ease around the world for vaccinated travellers.
