Air Canada announced the resumption of its service to Grenada, with double the previous capacity.

The carrier will operate four weekly flights from Toronto Pearson (YYZ) to Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) starting 29OCT.

“We are pleased to be able to offer more connections between Grenada and Toronto with up to four flights per week,” said Nino Montagnese, Vice President at Air Canada Vacations. “This enhanced schedule will allow Canadian travellers to experience the unspoiled natural gems and crystalline waters of Grenada.”

The nonstop flights will operate on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, departing at 9:30am from YYZ and landing at GND at 3:55pm. The return flights will leave GND at 4:55 pm and arrive at YYZ at 9:55 pm.

“The return of direct service by Air Canada to Grenada is a positive development for air transport relations between the airline and our country,” said Hon. Consul General Dawne Francois. “We have a very significant diaspora presence in Toronto and demand for travel to Grenada is at an all-time high.”

“Canada is an extremely important market for Grenada and traditionally has been our fourth largest source market behind USA, UK and the Caribbean. We will be frontloading a very aggressive campaign to ensure that we capitalize on this doubling of seat capacity,” says Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority. “The equipment being utilized is the Boeing 737 Max 8 with 16 business class seats and 153 economy seats. Travellers can look forward to major events like Grenada Rugby World 7s taking place from 30NOV – 02DEC and Carriacou Parang Festival from 15-17DEC, to name a few. Grenada will also welcome two new luxury hotels to the island in Q4 2023 – Beach House and Six Senses.”
