Air Canada is ready to resume flights to Munich, Germany after the Canadian government announced it was reopening Canada’s borders to foreigners. The airline said today that it plans to restart non-stop flights between Toronto and Munich from September 8th.
Canadian border restrictions are beginning to relax, following on from the decision last month to allow entry to fully vaccinated Americans. Now from September 7th, fully vaccinated passengers from other countries will also be allowed in.

When speaking about Air Canada’s desire to return to international destinations and connect once more with the world, Regional Sales Manager Germany, Switzerland, Austria & Eastern Europe at Air Canada, Jean-Christophe Hérault, said:
“As travel restrictions ease across the globe, we are committed to rebuild our international network and continue as a global carrier connecting the world to Canada. With Europeans eager to travel again to Canada, we are ready to reunite customers with their families and friends.

On the route between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Munich International Airport (MUC), Air Canada plans to deploy one of its 29 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The aircraft to be used on the transatlantic route features three classes of service.
Air Canada signature-class offers 30 lie-flat seats while premium economy offers 21 recliners seats with a 38-inch pitch. Economy class on Air Canada’s Boeing 787-9 comprises 247 standard seats for a combined total of 298 seats.
When talking about Air Canada returning to Munich Airport, CEO of Munich Airport Jost Lammers, said,
“We are very excited about the resumption of non-stop service from Munich to Toronto and see this as an important sign for a further recovery of the transatlantic traffic.”
What are the restrictions?
Provided the current COVID-19 numbers remain low, the Canadian government plans to allow entry to anyone who has been fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arriving in Canada. Foreigners arriving in Canada must not show any symptoms of the virus and have proof of being fully immunized with one of the following vaccines:
- Pfizer-BioNTech (two doses)
- Moderna (two doses)
- AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (two doses)
- Janssen/Johnson and Johnson (one dose)
Unfortunately for Indians wishing to visit Canada, direct flights are suspended until at least September 21st. Those wishing to come to Canada via an indirect flight can do so but must show proof of a negative PCR or other molecular tests taken in a third country no more than 72 hours before arriving in Canada.
