Starting June 15, the Ontario communities of Niagara, Sarnia and Muskoka will be linked directly to Toronto Pearson International Airport thanks to extended Air Canada Landline luxury motorcoach service.
This summer, Landline will operate 26 daily departures to and from Toronto Pearson across six Ontario communities, including added frequencies on Landline’s existing motorcoach services for Kingston and Kitchener-Waterloo.
“Air Canada has been very encouraged by the success of the Landline luxury motorcoach service, which leverages the convenience of intermodal transport to extend our network into local communities,” said Ranbir Singh, Director, Regional Airlines and Markets at Air Canada.
“The addition of Niagara, Sarnia and Muskoka to our network will not only make it easier for their residents to travel with us but should also benefit these communities by facilitating inbound personal, tourist and business travel from around the world, which can provide a significant economic boost.”
How it works
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.
Niagara
In Niagara Falls, Landline services will continue beyond Niagara District Airport with pickup and drop off at the Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls, located adjacent to the falls. This allows customers to travel seamlessly from Air Canada’s global network directly to accommodations steps from one of Canada’s most iconic leisure destinations.
Schedule
The new Landline routes between Toronto Pearson and Niagara, Sarnia and Muskoka will begin June 15, 2026. Customers from the Niagara, Sarnia or Muskoka who already have an Air Canada booking for flights to or from Toronto Pearson can add a Landline segment to their existing itinerary at no extra cost by calling our contact centre, provided they do so by April 30.
As well, there will be two added daily round trips to Kingston on May 1 and to Kitchener on June 15. The Sarnia service operates via Kitchener-Waterloo.
