JAA said the route will be operated on a CRJ900 with a two-class cabin by Air Canada Express. The aircraft has 12 business class seats and 64 standard/preferred seats.

“These flights will connect Jacksonville with Toronto, our largest unserved Canadian market, but they are also perfectly timed to offer Northeast Floridians easy connections to additional destinations in Canada, Europe and Asia,” JAA CEO Mark VanLoh said in a news release. “We look forward to welcoming Air Canada back to JAX.”

Air Canada previously flew nonstop from JAX to YYZ in May 2016 before concluding in April 2019. To book flights, visit www.aircanada.com.
