Air Canada has announced it is strategically expanding its summer schedule to Mexico with 18 per cent more seat capacity over last summer. While Canada and Mexico are deepening ties, the airline is further strengthening its schedule to support growing travel to and from Mexico.
Highlights of Air Canada’s Mexican network growth include the addition of new, year-round flights from Montréal to Guadalajara, as well as increased frequencies to Cancún, Monterrey, Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta, four in-demand destinations with Canadians and international travellers alike.
Air Canada offers more daily flights from the UK to Canada than any other airline, connecting customers from London Heathrow to six major Canadian cities including Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa and Halifax. From here, customers can connect to a flight of their choice to take advantage of Air Canada’s impressive network across Mexico.
“We continue to expand Air Canada’s far-reaching and diversified global network with improved connectivity between our hubs and cities across Mexico. Since 1954, Mexico has been an important part of our global network, and this summer, Air Canada’s added capacity will further reinforce the long-standing tourism and commercial ties between our two countries. Taking advantage of growing passenger and cargo demand strength, new service between Montréal and Guadalajara will be offered year-round and we will increase capacity to other sought after destinations across the country,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, and President of Cargo at Air Canada.
“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. We are proud to deliver compelling opportunities for our customers and Aeroplan Members to travel and ship cargo from almost anywhere in the world to Mexico,” concluded Mr. Galardo.
Air Canada’s flights to Mexico feature premium and economy cabins, free beer, wine, premium Canadian snacks, and complementary award-winning inflight entertainment for all customers, plus fast, free Wi-Fi for all Aeroplan Members*.
Air Canada’s presence in Mexico
Air Canada first flew to Mexico in 1954 when flights were routed from Montréal and Toronto to Tampa to Mexico City.
Today, Air Canada connects Canada and Mexico year-round, increasing to 30 non-stop flights from eight Canadian cities to 11 destinations in Mexico during the peak winter season.
In addition to direct flights between Canada and Mexico, Air Canada conveniently connects Mexico globally to Europe and Asia through its hubs in Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver.
For Summer 2026, Air Canada plans to operate ten daily flights from our three global hubs to 5 destinations in Mexico, representing 1,700 daily seats one-way, and an 18 per cent increase in seat capacity compared to Summer 2025.
