Finnair Continues Route Expansion with Helsinki-Toronto Service

Finnair has announced a new route from Helsinki to Toronto.

It is the second new route Finland’s flag carrier has announced for 2026, following Alta in Norway, which takes off next March.

The Toronto route will start on May 4, 2026 and will operate three times per week during the peak summer season. Flights  will be on Finnair’s Airbus A330 plane, which features Business, Premium Economy and Economy classes.

Flights are scheduled to depart Helsinki each Monday, Wednesday and Sunday at 16:50, arriving into the cool Canadian city just under nine hours later, at 18:35 local time.

On the return, flights will depart Toronto Pearson each Monday, Wednesday and Sunday at 23:40, arriving into the Finnish capital at 14:45 the following afternoon.

Anssi Partanen, Finnair Market Director UK & Ireland, said: “As we look ahead to 2026, we are excited to be re-adding Canada to our extensive network, with the addition of flights between Helsinki and Toronto from May next year.

“Canada is fast becoming one of the most popular long-haul destinations for European travellers, so we are confident that this route will prove a hit with both business and leisure travellers heading across the Atlantic.

“The move also reinforces our commitment to the North American market, alongside our existing core network in Europe and Asia.”
