New York, Miami… Speculation had long been swirling about crossing the Atlantic, and it has finally been confirmed that Seville will launch its first direct transatlantic flight to Montreal, Canada. The Canadian airline Air Canada will operate a nonstop flight connecting San Pablo Airport with Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.
The mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, announced this milestone for the Andalusian capital alongside Air Canada officials. As a result, Seville will have a direct, nonstop connection between Southern Europe and North America.
When will the Seville–Montreal route begin operating?
The big question, however, is the timing: when will this flight connection between Seville and Montreal begin?
According to ABC de Sevilla, the first flight is scheduled for September 8, 2027, aboard an Airbus A321XLR.
The route will launch with three weekly flights and will gradually increase to four flights per week. Initially, it will operate year-round except in July and August.
In terms of its impact on tourism and the economy, this will attract high-spending Canadian tourists to Andalusia and open a strategic avenue for business travel and academic collaboration.
A historic boost for San Pablo Airport
Until now, traveling to the Americas from Seville Airport required a layover at hubs such as Madrid, Barcelona, or Lisbon. With this new addition, Seville Airport is taking the definitive leap into long-haul flights, positioning itself as the gateway to southern Spain for the North American market.
In addition to the flow of travelers to Montreal, the hub of Quebec, passengers from Andalusia will be able to connect from Trudeau Airport to dozens of destinations in Canada and the United States through the Star Alliance global network.
