Air Canada is expanding its winter sun network for the 2025-26 season, announcing its largest-ever Latin America schedule. 

According to a press release, the updated winter program offers 16% more seat capacity than last year and introduces four new destinations: Rio de Janeiro, Cartagena, Guatemala City, and Guadalajara.

The carrier will also launch 13 new routes and boost frequencies to several existing sun destinations across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Mexico.
