The winter sun is getting more accessible as Air Canada introduced a slew of new flights to Mexico, the Caribbean and the Canary Islands for winter 2026-2027. Travellers will soon be able to fly to Roatan, Honduras; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; and Merida and Mazatlan in Mexico to escape winter’s clutches. The airline also announced it will operate the only non-stop flights from Canada to Tenerife, flying from Toronto and Montreal.
“We are further cementing Air Canada’s global network as one of the most far-reaching from the North American continent,” says Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, and President of Cargo at Air Canada. “The addition of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, reflects our continued ambition to offer our customers and Aeroplan members an exceptional, diversified array of unique Air Canada destinations.”
The flights will be aboard Air Canada’s incoming A321XLR aircraft, offering travellers the only non-stop service from North America to the destination known for its volcanic scenery and year-round warm weather.
According to Dimple Melwani, CEO of Tenerife Tourism, the island has spent several years working to improve its positioning in the Canadian market. ”This direct flight makes it possible for Tenerife to reinforce our position as a gateway to Europe for North American travelers, while raising the profile of our cultural, culinary and leisure offering in priority source markets on the current roadmap.”
The new routes include more service from Western Canada, something Air Canada has previously stated to be a priority. Galardo indicated the expanding flights into Latin America from Vancouver are enabled by growing A220 and Air Canada Rouge bases to unlock non-stop service to Costa Rica and Mexico, including to Mazatlan. “In addition, we are adding Roatan, Santo Domingo and Merida to our global network, while introducing exciting new leisure options for our customers in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Quebec and Halifax,” he says. “Together with our previously announced new services to Sapporo and Quito, and our new leisure options from Calgary to Mexico, Air Canada continues to deepen its industry-leading network, proudly connecting Canada globally.”
Flights are available for purchase now at aircanada.com, and vacation packages will be available for purchase at aircanadavacations.com.
