To the point From December 2025, discover Air Canada's new destinations : Lima, Belize City, Puerto Escondido and Tepic from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

It’s already time to think about next winter!

Air Canada continues its international expansion with the announcement of four new routes to Latin America for the 2025-2026 winter season.

These flights are already on sale, and some destinations are awaiting approval from the aviation authorities of the countries concerned.

Air Canada - Peru, Central America and Mexico

First of all, Air Canada will be resuming flights to Lima. The Peruvian capital will be served by four weekly non-stop flights from Montreal (YUL) and Toronto (YYZ).

In addition, Montreal obtains a weekly direct service to Belize City (BZE), for better access to this Central American jewel.

Next, Air Canada becomes the first Canadian carrier to offer direct flights to Puerto Escondido from Toronto. Then, the new Vancouver-Tepic route opens up access to the magnificent Riviera Nayarit region, strategically coinciding with the opening of a new highway linking Tepic to Puerto Vallarta in October 2025.

Book early to take advantage of the best rates, especially for the holiday season!
