Starting June 18, 2026, Air Canada will operate a seasonal Halifax\u2013Brussels route three times a week using a narrow body aircraft with both Premium and Economy cabins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brussels will become the airline\u2019s second non-stop international service at Halifax Stanfield, joining its long-standing, year-round, daily service to London Heathrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAir Canada is excited to add Brussels, our second international destination from Halifax, for Summer 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Brussels is a gateway to Europe and Africa with our Star Alliance partner Brussels Airlines, and our new route opens up a multitude of travel choices for customers on both sides of the Atlantic, while strengthening local economic ties and tourism,\u201d said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer, and President – Air Canada Cargo, at Air Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a flight time of approximately six hours, Air Canada\u2019s new non-stop service between Halifax and Brussels will provide international visitors with streamlined access to Canada\u2019s scenic East Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Nova Scotia has long-standing ties to Belgium, and the country remains an important trading partner\u201d, said Colton LeBlanc, Minister of Growth and Development, Province of Nova Scotia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re happy that Air Canada is providing a seasonal route that will help keep Nova Scotia and Brussels connected at a time when Nova Scotia is focused on establishing new markets for our products and services, growing our economy and making it easier for people to visit our province.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the addition of this new route, Nova Scotia travellers can also enjoy greater choice, enhanced flexibility, and a simple one-stop journey to destinations that were once much harder to reach from Halifax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis announcement underscores the strength of our region and the increasing demand for international connections,” said Carter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re pleased to continue working with Air Canada, our largest and longest-serving airline partner, to expand Halifax\u2019s global reach and welcome more visitors to Nova Scotia and the entire Atlantic Region.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
