Air Canada will soon offer direct flights to this sunny tourist destination in Mexico

Grab your luggage and sunscreen because Air Canada just announced that it will be the first Canadian airline to offer flights to the sunny vacation destination of Tulum, Mexico, as part of its global network expansion.

The airline announced on Thursday that it is boosting its North American network capacity for summer 2024 with the addition of two new destinations, five new routes, increased flight frequencies on key routes, and earlier resumption of seasonal routes in response to demand.

As part of the expansion, Air Canada becomes the first Canadian airline to offer service to Tulum, with regular flights from Toronto and Montreal to the newest airport in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula.

“These new destinations and routes reflect Air Canada’s market leadership and network diversification strategy of adding capacity to in-demand leisure destinations such as Tulum and fast-growing, key metropolitan areas in the US,” said Mark Galardo, executive vice president of revenue and network planning at Air Canada.
