Air Canada will resume its seasonal service between Toronto and Budapest starting June 6, 2026.
From early June through October 24, the airline will fly the route four times a week with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
According to a statement sent to the press, flight AC 942 will depart Toronto at 21:55 every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, arriving in Budapest the following day at 11:25.
The return flight, AC 943, will leave the Hungarian capital on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 13:15, landing in Toronto at 15:15.
The 787-9 offers 30 fully lie-flat business seats, 21 premium-economy seats, and 247 economy seats.
Air Canada’s subsidiary Rouge last flew to Budapest in the summer 2019 schedule using Boeing 767-300ER aircraft from Toronto. A seasonal return was planned for 2020, but the pandemic prevented it, and in spring 2020 the leisure carrier retired 30 percent of its fleet, including the 767s used on the Budapest route.
Air Canada later planned to relaunch the summer service with its own Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. In early February 2022 the company announced three weekly flights from May through the end of the summer schedule, but in March it withdrew the plan, citing the war in Ukraine.
The Canadian airline is now the second to announce a transatlantic comeback to Budapest: in early August, American Airlines said it will restart its Philadelphia–Budapest route on May 21, 2026, operating daily until October 5 with Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners.
