Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) recorded a milestone on 3 July 2026 when Air Canada operated the first of three weekly flights to Montreal. The seasonal service runs until 6 September with Boeing 787-8 equipment before switching to the fuel-efficient Airbus A321XLR later in the month. Business chambers welcomed the link, arguing it shortens door-to-door travel time for tech and creative-industry clusters in Berlin–Brandenburg engaging with Canada’s AI and gaming hubs.

While planning trips or long-term assignments, travelers can streamline their visa and documentation needs through VisaHQ’s Berlin office, which handles Canadian eTA applications, CUSMA work permits and other consular services online. The platform’s digital tracking tools and expert staff help avoid last-minute airport surprises, letting companies focus on growing transatlantic partnerships.
Until now most corporate itineraries required a Frankfurt or Munich connection. The narrow-body XLR will reduce per-seat costs and carbon emissions, but cargo capacity is limited. Freight forwarders handling high-value spare parts should secure allotments early or continue routing via Frankfurt. For assignees, Montreal offers a convenient gateway to obtain Canadian work permits under CUSMA and the Global Skills Strategy. Employers should verify quarantine-free entry rules for Schengen passengers, which remain subject to random health checks under Canada’s post-pandemic framework.
