Canada's Minister of Transport, Steven MacKinnon, announced an incremental increase to the number of direct flights permitted between Canada and China.

This measure delivers on the Canada-China Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap and supports the renewal of Canada's economic relationship with China.

Canadian and Chinese airlines are now permitted:

• To incrementally increase direct passenger-combination flights
• Up to 20 all-cargo flights per week
• Reciprocal access to all points in each country

China is the second-largest single-country merchandise trading partner to Canada, with $124.8 billion worth of two-way merchandise trade in 2025.
