Return to Baltimore
Air Canada is Canada’s largest airline and operates the most cross-border flights between the United States (US) and Canada. According to Cirium, Air Canada operates over 10,000 flights a month between the two countries, representing about a third of the market share. The last time the airline operated a flight to Baltimore was in April of this year, but it will fly there again in May 2025.
As Ishrion Aviation announced on X (formerly Twitter), Air Canada will resume operations to Baltimore in May next year. The first flight from Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport will take place on May 1, with the return flight the following day. Jazz, which operates regional flights on behalf of Air Canada, will use its Bombardier CRJ-900s, which can carry 76 passengers, on this route.

Cirium data is only available through July 2025 and shows that Air Canada will operate the route daily. Nearly 5,000 round-trip seats are available each month, and from May to July the total is 13,908. During this period, Air Canada plans to operate 183 round-trip flights.
The last time a scheduled Air Canada flight landed at BWI was on April 1 of this year. The flight originated from Toronto and the route has historically been served year-round. The route was served continuously starting in May 2022 and Air Canada briefly connected Montreal to Baltimore in June 2022 and ended flights in early July 2022. Simple Flying contacted the airline for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
Serving other airports in Washington
Although Air Canada has not served Baltimore for several months, the company already offers flights to two other nearby airports, Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Data from January to July 2025 shows that Air Canada connects Montreal and Toronto to Dulles, and Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa to DCA. Between the two US airports, Air Canada offers more than 600 monthly round-trip flights.
