Air Canada's one-stop flights, which use the same aircraft and flight number for an entire journey, have garnered attention due to their unique routes and long-haul operations. In 2025, Air Canada is operating five such services, including a now-discontinued stopover in Frankfurt on its Mumbai to Toronto route. This stop was necessary for refueling and crew changes, likely due to detours avoiding Russian airspace.

A notable addition is the Calgary-London Heathrow-Delhi route that commenced in October 2024. This became Air Canada's second-longest one-stop service after Toronto-Vancouver-Sydney and its longest fifth freedom operation.

The details of these services are as follows:
