Air Canada is increasing Mexico flights for Summer 2026, adding 18% more capacity compared to last summer and introducing new year-round service between Montréal and Guadalajara.
The airline says the expansion reflects growing passenger and cargo demand and deepening commercial ties between Canada and Mexico.
“We continue to expand Air Canada’s far-reaching and diversified global network with improved connectivity between our hubs and cities across Mexico,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, and President of Cargo at Air Canada.
“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.
“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.”
