- Route operates three weekly flights, increasing to four from May 2

Air Canada has brought forward the restart of its seasonal non-stop service between Dublin and Vancouver for 2027, with the first flight now scheduled to depart Dublin on March 31. The route will initially operate three times a week before increasing to four weekly services from May 2 for the summer season, providing Irish travellers with additional access to Canada’s west coast and onward connections. Flights will be operated by a three-cabin Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, offering Air Canada Signature Class, Premium Economy and Economy class.
The Vancouver route complements Air Canada’s year-round Dublin-Toronto operation and its usual summer seasonal Dublin-Montreal service, which will operate from May 3. The earlier restart date allows Irish travellers to access Vancouver and British Columbia from late March, extending the shoulder season for transatlantic travel. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner provides lie-flat seats in Signature Class, premium economy seating and standard economy accommodation across the aircraft.
The earlier deployment reflects Air Canada’s confidence in the Irish market and the sustained demand for Canadian destinations among Irish travellers. The Vancouver route connects to Air Canada’s extensive North American network, with onward connections available to destinations across Canada and the United States. The seasonal service operates through the summer months, with the four weekly frequencies providing regular access to the west coast for both leisure and business travellers.
Air Canada sales manager for Ireland Bláithín O’Donnell shared: the earlier restart responds to strong demand for west coast Canadian destinations from Irish travellers.
Dublin Airport shared: the additional frequencies strengthen Dublin’s transatlantic connectivity and support tourism growth.
