Sep 26, 2023 (newstodate): Winter 2022/23 saw Air Canada forced to suspend services between Toronto and Copenhagen due to a shortage of aircraft and crews.
Not so this coming winter: the airline has overcome the shortages and the winter '23/24 program will see the airline serving the route with three weekly rotations, increasing to four rotations during Christmas, New Year and Easter peaks - all served with Boeing 787-9 aircraft. And in summer 2024, frequency will return to daily operations.
Excepting a period of suspension from spring 2020 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, Air Canada has been online with scheduled flights on the route from Toronto to Copenhagen since June 25, 2010, after a decade of seasonal operations with Airbus A330-300 aircraft.
Air Canada is also reinstating the seasonal flights between Montreal and Copenhagen introduced in summer '23 - maintaining five weekly rotations already from May 2, 2024, against the start in June this year.
Summer 2024 will thus see Air Canada on routes to Copenhagen with 12 weekly rotations, against 10 in summer 2023.
Boding well for the cargo business as well, where cargo sales are provided by the carrier's GSSA, HWF, that saw the total weekly capacity growing to 150 tonnes of cargo between Canada and Denmark in summer 2023.
