Air Canada is adding service on several U.S.-bound routes, as well as resuming routes that were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. Air Canada is an important airline, not only because it provides service to and from Canada, but because it also is a partner with United Airlines, where you’re able to fly from the U.S. to Canada and then onward to many international destinations.
