Pearson Airport in Mississauga offers flights to more European destinations

Those feeling the travel bug now have the option of planning flights out of Pearson Airport in Mississauga to more major European destinations.

Air Transat returns to Pearson with non-stop service once again to Paris, starting today (May 6), in addition to similar service to Barcelona and Zagreb beginning tomorrow (May 7).

Last month, Canada’s third-largest airline announced it was reinstating service to Dublin five times a week.

Earlier this week, German carrier Condor returned to Pearson Airport with non-stop service between Mississauga and Frankfurt.

As COVID-19 air travel restrictions have been lifted in Canada and around the world, airlines are once again ramping up their flight schedules out of Pearson and other airports.

Air Canada, meanwhile, has also significantly increased its service to various destinations from Pearson.

Canada’s flagship carrier is increasing flights this spring and summer to both North American destinations and travel spots elsewhere around the world.

Air Canada’s summer 2022 international schedule includes the re-launching of 34 routes across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, 16 of those routes out of Pearson Airport and 14 out of Montreal.

In March, non-stop flights resumed from Pearson to Tel Aviv, Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Vienna, Athens and Rome.

In April, the schedule expanded to include Venice and Tokyo, while Copenhagen, Budapest, Barcelona, Madrid, Edinburgh and Manchester are being added this month.

In June, service from Pearson to Reykjavik (Iceland) resumes.

Service to many of the locations had been suspended since March 2020, the beginning of the pandemic.

It’s a sign, Air Canada officials said in an earlier news release, that “recovery is well underway.”

The relaunch of international routes builds on Air Canada’s major expansion in the North American market, where seven new routes are scheduled for summer 2022 and 41 previously suspended routes are resuming.

Of the seven new routes, one is planned to run out of Pearson Airport. Starting June 2, three flights per week (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) will be scheduled from Pearson to Salt Lake City, Utah.

Among the routes resuming service are flights out of Pearson to Baltimore, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Portland, St. Louis, Hartford, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Kansas City, Fort McMurray, Nanaimo and Gander.
