Strengthening Spain–Canada Commercial Relations
The official visit of His Majesty King Felipe VI to Canada highlights the growing strategic and economic relationship between Spain and Canada, with a particular focus on trade, investment, innovation, and bilateral cooperation.
At Blue Meridian Advisors, we are proud to contribute to this evolving commercial corridor by facilitating international business operations between Canada and the Canary Islands, particularly within seafood exports, logistics coordination, and cross-border trade development.
As global supply chains continue to evolve, trusted partnerships and operational alignment between markets become increasingly important. We remain committed to supporting sustainable and efficient trade relationships that create long-term value for all stakeholders involved.
We look forward to continuing to strengthen commercial connections between both regions.
New Direct Air Connections Between Canada and the Canary Islands
We are excited to highlight a major milestone in the growing connectivity between Canada and the Canary Islands, following the recent announcement of new direct air routes linking Toronto and Montreal with both Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
These new nonstop connections represent an important development for tourism, international business, trade, investment, and logistics between Canada and the Canary Islands, significantly reducing travel times and strengthening commercial opportunities between both markets.
Air Canada has announced the launch of direct seasonal flights between:
Toronto and Tenerife.
Montreal and Tenerife.
The airline will operate:
Two weekly flights from Toronto to Tenerife.
One weekly flight from Montreal to Tenerife.
These routes are scheduled to begin during the winter 2026-2027 season, operating approximately from late October through April using the new Airbus A321XLR aircraft, specifically designed for long-range transatlantic routes.
At the same time, Air Transat has also announced new direct services connecting:

Montreal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Air Transat is expected to operate:
One weekly direct flight from Toronto to Gran Canaria.

These operations are planned for the winter season as well, reinforcing the Canary Islands’ growing importance within the Canadian tourism and international travel market.
The introduction of these direct routes creates significant opportunities across multiple sectors, including:
Tourism and hospitality investment.
International real estate development.
Luxury and lifestyle tourism.
Business travel and corporate connectivity.
International trade and premium food logistics.
Faster transportation options for perishable and high-value products.
For sectors such as seafood exports, premium food products, and live seafood logistics, improved direct air connectivity can help optimize transportation times, simplify supply chains, and strengthen commercial operations between Canada and the Canary Islands.
The expansion also reflects the increasing interest of Canadian travelers and investors in the Canary Islands, particularly among higher-spending tourism segments seeking year-round destinations, lifestyle investments, and international business opportunities.
We believe these new direct connections represent a major long-term opportunity for businesses, investors, tourism operators, and international trade partners looking to strengthen relationships between Canada and the Canary Islands.
