Air Canada to Double Frequency of Landline Service between Kitchener-Waterloo Airport and Toronto Pearson

• Increase to 10 daily return trips will improve connection times for customers

MONTRÉAL, October 14, 2025 - Air Canada today said that beginning December 1 it will double the frequency of The Landline Company’s luxury coach service between the Region of Waterloo International Airport and Toronto Pearson. The number of daily return trips will increase to 10 from five, giving customers more convenient options for travelling and better connection times with their onward flights from Air Canada’s global hub.

“We have been very satisfied with the response from the Kitchener-Waterloo Region to Air Canada’s innovative, multi-modal service. Customers are finding the comfort, convenience and reliability of Landline and its luxury motor coaches very compelling. With the service growing in popularity, we are doubling the frequencies to 10 daily, which will give customers even better, one-stop connectivity between the Region of Waterloo International Airport and key destinations we serve from Toronto Pearson, such as Vancouver, Tokyo, Halifax, San Francisco, and hundreds more,” said Ranbir Singh, Director, Regional Airlines and Markets at Air Canada.

“Since launching the service, we’ve heard from hundreds of customers who love the Air Canada Landline connection experience but needed more options to match their connecting flights at Pearson,” said Rizwan Qadir, Landline spokesperson. “By doubling frequency to 10 trips per day, travelers can now mix and match schedules to fit their outbound and return Air Canada flights more conveniently.”

"This increased service is a welcome investment in our community’s future and reflects the confidence Air Canada has in our region’s growth and potential,” said Karen Redman, Chair of the Region of Waterloo. “Doubling the frequency strengthens Waterloo Region’s global reach and opens new doors for our residents, businesses, and visitors alike. We are committed to providing travellers with more accessible options. This expansion gives residents more choice and reason to choose YKF."
