Air Canada is further expanding service to Latin America for the winter travel season.

Canada’s largest airline announced Wednesday that it is relaunching nonstop service to Lima, Peru, and adding destinations in Mexico and Belize.

Starting in early December, Air Canada will offer twice-weekly flights to Lima from both Montreal and Toronto. The Toronto-Lima route will operate from Dec. 5 to March 27, 2026, while the Montreal-Lima service will run from Dec. 6 to March 28, 2026.

Air Canada last flew to Lima in March 2023.

Also in December, the carrier will begin nonstop service to Belize City, Belize, and Puerto Escondido and Tepic in Mexico. Flights will operate once a week between Montreal and Belize City (Dec. 8-April 7), Toronto and Puerto Escondido (Dec. 17-April 8), and Vancouver and Tepic (Dec. 17-April 8).

“Air Canada is further diversifying its global network this winter under its New Frontiers Strategy by capitalizing on strong leisure demand to sought-after vacation destinations in South and Central America and in Mexico’s Oaxaca and Pacific coast areas,” said Mark Galardo, who serves as executive vice president, chief commercial officer, and president of cargo at Air Canada. “Our new flights are designed to provide easy connections for both Canadian and European travelers, as well as to take advantage of cargo opportunities in the region.”

In May, the airline announced that it will operate nonstop seasonal flights to four new cities – Rio de Janeiro; Cartagena, Colombia; Guatemala City; and Guadalajara, Mexico – while adding new routes to destinations it already serves, including Santiago, Chile; Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and Nassau, The Bahamas. It is also increasing the frequency of flights to locations in Mexico and the Caribbean, upping seat capacity by 16% over the winter of 2024-25.
