As of June 15, 2026, Air Canada will expand its Landline motorcoach service to connect three new Ontario communities to Toronto Pearson: Niagara, Sarnia, and Muskoka. In addition, the airline will increase frequencies on existing routes from Kingston and Kitchener-Waterloo.
New Cities + Enhanced Connectivity
Customers with existing Air Canada bookings to or from Toronto Pearson can contact the airline before April 30 to add a Landline motorcoach segment without additional cost.
Needless to say, Air Canada’s Landline motorcoach service has seen great success amidst high customer demand. As of this summer, the service will operate 26 daily departures between Toronto Pearson and six different Ontario communities. This greatly expands regional connectivity and effectively adds feeder “flights” to Air Canada’s largest hub.
Kingston will see two additional daily roundtrip services as of May 1, while Kitchener-Waterloo will also gain two additional roundtrips as of June 15. Keep in mind Air Canada doubled the number of services to Kitchener-Waterloo just a few months ago in December 2025, so this represents quite a large increase.
Daily round trip services by Air Canada Landline bus:
| Community | Airport | Daily Round Trips |
|---|---|---|
| Hamilton | John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) | 5 |
| Kingston | Kingston Norman Rogers Airport (YGK) | 4 |
| Kitchener-Waterloo | Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) | 12 |
| Muskoka | Muskoka Airport (YQA) | 2 |
| Niagara | Niagara District Airport (YCM) | 3 |
| Sarnia | Sarnia Chris Hadfield Airport (YZR) | 2* |
* Sarnia service operates via Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF).
As part of Air Canada’s multi-modal network strategy, this service is integrated into the airline’s ticketing and operations systems. Customers travelling from YKF check in as they would for a flight, with baggage tagged through to their final destination. After boarding an Air Canada-branded luxury coach, passengers are transported directly to YYZ, where they proceed through self-service bag drop and security screening for their connecting flight. Likewise, passengers arriving in Toronto can board a return Landline coach to Waterloo with the same protections and coordination as an air segment on their itinerary.
Air Canada Landline Motorcoach Experience
The service uses premium coaches manufactured by Prevost in Sainte-Claire, Quebec. These motorcoaches feature 36 leather seats in a two-by-one layout for enhanced comfort and spaciousness. Each seat is equipped with a tray table and a power outlet. Additional amenities include:
-
Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi
-
Overhead storage for carry-on items
-
An onboard lavatory
-
Full accessibility, including a power lift for mobility aids
-
Bilingual announcements in English and French
As with other Landline segments, passengers earn and can redeem Aeroplan points for these ground legs. The ticket also includes full trip protection, so any disruption to a motorcoach or flight segment triggers the same rebooking and customer service support as a traditional air-only itinerary.
Takeaway
Air Canada continues to expand its regional accessibility through its partnership with The Landline Company. Connecting passengers by bus to Toronto Pearson, three new routes will launch on June 15: Niagara, Sarnia, and Muskoka. In addition, Kingston and Kitchener-Waterloo will each see two additional roundtrip services.
The Landline Company operates multi-modal transportation networks on behalf of major airlines, including Air Canada, American Airlines, and Sun Country Airlines.
