Finnair Announces Exciting Return to Canada with New Toronto Flights

Great news for travel enthusiasts as Finnish flag carrier, Finnair, is set to make a comeback in Canada after an 11-year hiatus! The latest announcement confirms that Finnair will be launching dedicated flights to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) starting May 4, 2026. This comes after their last flight to Toronto back in summer 2015.

Operated by Finnair's reliable Airbus A330-300s, the new route will run three times a week, with departures from Helsinki scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. Travelers can expect a pleasant journey, with flights departing Helsinki at 16:50 local time and reaching Toronto at 18:35 local time, following a nearly nine-hour flight. The return flights to Finland will take off later the same evening.

"We are thrilled to expand our North American network and reintroduce Canada as one of our destinations. Toronto, being a popular travel hotspot, will not only be appealing to our European customers but will also offer excellent connections to other parts of Canada," shares Christine Rovelli, Finnair's Chief Revenue Officer.

In addition to Toronto, Finnair has exciting plans for the summer of 2026, with flights scheduled for New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle in North America. More good news awaits as Finnair will be increasing frequencies to Nordic capitals next summer as well. Stockholm and Copenhagen will have an additional seven weekly frequencies each, while Reykjavik will receive two more weekly flights.

And that's not all - Finnair has recently announced its plans to fly to Alta via Kittilä five times a week until October 22, 2026, promising more travel opportunities and seamless connections for passengers.

Stay tuned for more updates as Finnair continues to enhance its offerings and provide travelers with exciting new destinations to explore!
