Air Canada will resume direct flights from Tel Aviv to Toronto on November 30, 2026, after an eight-month hiatus caused by the war with Iran. Ticket prices have risen by about 30%: the average round-trip economy ticket for December 2026 costs $1,155, compared to about $890 a year earlier. Flights will operate four times a week. The company initially planned to return on January 17, 2027, but decided to do so earlier. Air Canada remains the only airline operating direct flights between Tel Aviv and Toronto. Competition comes from connecting routes: a British Airways ticket averages $968, Lufthansa $990. Asaf Greenberg, vice president of marketing at lastminute.co.il, noted that the return of the direct flight improves accessibility to Canada but has not yet led to lower prices.
