Air Canada has announced that its new Airbus A321XLR will begin service on the Montreal Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) route in June 2026. Tickets for the new route are now available. The aircraft, which accommodates 182 passengers including 14 lie-flat business class seats, marks Air Canada's first use of a narrow-body jet with this premium seating option.
The flights to Palma de Mallorca will operate four times per week from June 17 through October 24. Air Canada expects additional A321XLR jets to join its fleet throughout the year, expanding service from cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, and Halifax. The airline is introducing the A321XLR to enhance its long-haul capabilities using a lower-capacity aircraft that can serve smaller markets more efficiently.
According to Air Canada, the new route demonstrates how it plans to use the A321XLR’s range and premium cabin capacity to target leisure-heavy transatlantic routes from Montreal and improve service on medium-haul European destinations. Palma de Mallorca is noted for strong summer travel demand and serves as a hub for tour operators, allowing Air Canada to offer package deals that include flights, vacations, and car rentals.
