A Russian Antonov An-124 cargo plane, stuck in Toronto since February 2022 due to airspace restrictions, was temporarily moved for maintenance. The aircraft was seized by Canada amid concerns over its military utility. Plans for its forfeiture are underway, though legal considerations persist.
Air Canada is expanding its network from Toronto Pearson with new routes launching between winter 2025 and summer 2026. These include nonstop flights to Shanghai and Budapest, resumption of service to Prague, along with additional destinations in South America and Mexico, which are aimed at bolstering tourism and trade. The airline is also upgrading its fleet with the introduction of the Boeing 787-10 and Airbus A321XLR models.
