Air Canada is expanding service to Mexico this summer.
The carrier this week announced a new nonstop route between Montreal and Guadalajara and said it will increase flights on existing routes to Cancun, Monterrey, Mexico City, and Puerto Vallarta.
The Montreal-Guadalajara connection will launch June 2 and operate three times weekly year-round, officials said. Flights from Montreal will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while return flights from Guadalajara will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Flights to Cancun, Monterrey, Mexico City, and Puerto Vallarta will increase for the summer:
- Montreal to Cancun, from seven times weekly to 11 times weekly
- Toronto to Monterrey, from three times weekly to four times weekly
- Vancouver to Mexico City, from seven times weekly to 11 times weekly
- Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta, from once weekly to twice weekly
“Air travel facilitates tourism, trade, and connectivity, and Mexico is part of Air Canada’s larger Latin America strategy of enabling fast, convenient passenger and cargo connections through our Canadian gateways to our comprehensive network across all six inhabited continents,” Mark Galardo, Air Canada’s executive vice president, chief commercial officer, and president of cargo, said in a news release.
Connections to Turkey
Air Canada also announced an interline deal with Pegasus Airlines that will allow passengers to reach Turkey on a single itinerary.
Travelers will be able to connect to a Pegasus flight to Istanbul through eight European gateways – Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Munich, Geneva, Vienna, Zurich, and Athens. Also available to Air Canada customers is a Pegasus connection from Frankfurt to Izmir, Turkey, on the Aegean coast of Anatolia.
