Air Canada Significantly Expands Summer Service to Mexico 2026

Air Canada has unveiled plans to significantly expand its summer service to Mexico, boosting seat capacity by 18 per cent compared to last year. Key additions include new year-round service from Montréal to Guadalajara, along with increased frequencies to Cancun, Monterrey, Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta.

The airline says the expansion comes as Canada and Mexico continue to strengthen economic and tourism ties by meeting rising demand for travel between the two countries.

“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.”

Increased capacity for Summer 2026:

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 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 its 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.
