Seville Airport is set to break new ground in 2027 by launching its first-ever nonstop transatlantic service. Air Canada will operate direct flights between Seville and Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, providing a vital link between Andalusia and North America that currently requires travelers to transit through hubs like Madrid or Lisbon.
Details of the new transatlantic route
The service is scheduled to begin on September 8, 2027. Initially, the airline will offer three flights per week, with that frequency increasing to four weekly departures starting October 1. The route will follow a seasonal schedule, operating from September to January, pausing for the winter, and then resuming from February 14 until June 9.

Air Canada plans to utilize its Airbus A321XLR aircraft for these journeys. The cabin configuration for this route will include:
- 14 Signature Class lie-flat seats
- 168 Economy Class seats
How will this affect regional travel?
This new transatlantic route is part of a broader expansion of international connections at Seville's San Pablo airport. In addition to the Montreal service, several other destinations are expected to see increased activity in 2027, including Oslo, Hamburg, Florence, and Belgrade.
While air connectivity is expanding rapidly, ground transportation remains a challenge for travelers. The airport's connection to the Santa Justa train station is still under discussion, with current travel between the two points relying on taxis, buses, or private cars.
