Air Canada Commences Landline Service, Connecting Muskoka to its Global Network

Landline

MONTRÉAL, June 15, 2026 - Air Canada today linked Muskoka to its Toronto Pearson global hub with the start of twice-daily service offered through The Landline Company. Customers will be able to board Landline’s luxury motor coaches at Muskoka Airport and at no additional charge travel in comfort to Toronto Pearson for their flight.

“Air Canada is always looking to connect Canadian communities. We are delighted to begin Landline service to Muskoka, making it very easy for local residents to access our extensive national, transborder and international networks through our Toronto Pearson global hub,” said Ranbir Singh, Director, Regional Airlines and Markets at Air Canada. “Connections are important for local communities, not only making it easier for their residents to travel but also making them more accessible to tourists and businesses from elsewhere, helping drive economic activity.”

"The launch of Air Canada Landline is a significant milestone for Muskoka Airport and our region. This service provides residents, businesses, and visitors with seamless access to Air Canada’s global network while strengthening Muskoka’s connectivity, tourism economy, and transportation options. We are proud to partner with Air Canada and Landline to bring this innovative service to Muskoka and help make travel more convenient and accessible for everyone," said Maciej Habrych, Chief Executive Officer, Muskoka Airport.

"For too long, residents across Muskoka and Northern Ontario faced a long, costly drive to Pearson every time they needed to fly - hours on the road, expensive parking, and the stress of a massive terminal before their trip even started. That changes on today. Park for free at your local airport, check in close to home, and let us handle the rest. By the time you arrive at Pearson, you're already a step ahead of the crowd," said Nick Johnson, Vice President, Commercial at Landline.

Through Landline Air Canada will offer twice daily return trips between Muskoka Airport and Toronto Pearson. All trips are timed for convenient connections to Air Canada flights.

A Seamless, Premium Experience

Air Canada customers originating in participating communities will check in as normal for their flight pre-security at their local airport, receive boarding passes for all segments, and have their baggage tagged to their final destination. Upon arrival at Toronto Pearson, customers proceed to the bag drop area and then security before continuing to their departure gate.

The Air Canada-branded motorcoaches operated by Landline are designed and built in Quebec by Prevost, and provide premium features such as spacious leather seating, free Wi-Fi, power outlets, and full accessibility for passengers with reduced mobility. The motorcoaches run multiple non-stop round trips daily from regional airports to Toronto Pearson, offering customers the same benefits as air-only itineraries, including boarding pass and bag tag printing at their regional airport, as well as, disruption protection, and Aeroplan point earning opportunities. In the event of coach or flight delays, customers travelling on Landline will receive similar protections as those travelling on air-only itineraries. Aeroplan members earn points for both ground and air segments.
