Air Canada Adds Short‑Term A321XLR Link Between Montreal and Amsterdam

Air Canada has filed new schedule changes that introduce a temporary direct flight between Montréal‑Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS). The service will use the airline’s Airbus A321XLR, a narrow‑body twinjet capable of long‑range operations, and will operate for three dates in April 2027. The 8‑hour transatlantic hop marks a brief but notable addition to Air Canada’s network, offering passengers a direct connection between Canada’s largest city and a major European hub. While the route is limited in duration, it demonstrates the carrier’s willingness to deploy the A321XLR for short‑term market testing and to expand its transatlantic footprint.
