About this update from Air Canada

Landline MONTRÉAL, June 15, 2026 - Air Canada today linked Sarnia to its Toronto Pearson global hub with the start of twice-daily service offered through The Landline Company. Customers will be able to board Landline's luxury motor coaches at Sarnia Chris Hadfield Airport and at no additional charge travel in comfort to Toronto Pearson for their flight. "Air Canada is always looking to connect Canadian communities. We are delighted to begin Landline service to Sarnia, making it very easy for local residents to access our extensive national, transborder and international networks through our Toronto Pearson global hub," said Ranbir Singh, Director, Regional Airlines and Markets at Air Canada. "Connections are important for local communities, not only making it easier for their residents to travel but also making them more accessible to tourists and businesses from elsewhere, helping drive economic activity." "The launch of Air Canada's Landline service is an important step in strengthening the role of Sarnia Chris Hadfield Airport as a gateway for residents, businesses, and visitors. Enhanced connectivity is an important part of creating the conditions for growth, competitiveness, and long-term prosperity. We look forward to working with our partners at Air Canada and Landline to maximize the opportunities this new connection can help unlock for our community," said Kelly Provost, Director of Economic Development, City of Sarnia. "Until now, catching a flight meant a three-hour drive to Pearson, expensive airport parking, and the stress of navigating one of Canada's busiest terminals. Starting today, that's over. Sarnia travellers can park for free at Chris Hadfield airport, check in right here at home, and ride to Pearson as a confirmed Air Canada passenger -- bags checked, boarding pass in hand. The hard part of travel just got a lot easier," said Nick Johnson, Vice President, Commercial at Landline. Through Landline Air Canada will offer twice daily return trips between Sarnia Chris Hadfield Airport and Toronto Pearson with a brief stop at Region of Waterloo International Airport.
