Hey there, time traveller!

MONTREAL – Air Canada says it will resume flights to Israel in June, a year and a half after it halted trips to the region amid the Israel-Hamas war.
With a fragile truce in place, the country’s largest airline said in a travel update that four direct round-trip flights per week from Toronto to Tel Aviv will begin on June 8.
Another once-a-week return flight out of Montreal is slated to start in August.
Air Canada says it has conducted “extensive safety and security reviews,” including talks with government authorities and other airlines that are returning to Israeli airspace.
Two U.S. carriers are planning to revive service to the region, with United Airlines set to take off for Tel Aviv on March 15 and Delta Air Lines on April 1.
Air Canada suspended flights to Israel after the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in October 2023, briefly resuming them last April before halting them again after an attack by Iran.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 21, 2025.
