Air Canada Cancels This 7-Hour Long-Haul Route To Europe: See Map Now

Air Canada has removed its Halifax–Brussels transatlantic route from its weekend schedule update for summer 2027, leaving the East Coast Canadian hub with fewer long-haul options. The route between Halifax Stanfield (YHZ) and Brussels (BRU) had launched in June 2026, running three times weekly through September 5, operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. It was expected to be transferred to Air Canada Rouge starting June 17, 2027, with 35 departures scheduled, but those plans were dropped. Air Canada will still serve Brussels from Montréal-Trudeau year-round and offer four-weekly flights from Toronto Pearson during summer. Meanwhile, YHZ is also losing other transatlantic services.
