For Air Canada, the capital market is one of the most important. Noriega Benet affirms that the Mexico City-Toronto route was one of the five worldwide that the company did not stop operating even in the face of the pandemic, driven by markets such as essential business trips, students and family reunions.
For this reason, by November the airline will go from operating 15 to 28 weekly frequencies from Mexico City, connecting with 14 frequencies to Toronto and with a daily flight to Montreal and Vancouver.
The manager explained that the conditions of the Canadian government are that visitors have a complete vaccination scheme against COVID-19 with the vaccines accepted by the authorities: Moderna, Pfizer, Astrazeneca and J&J.
Visitors will be asked 14 days have passed since the last dose for the two-shot vaccines, and one month for J&J.
Noriega Benet considered that Air Canada could recover the volume of available seats in 2019 with Mexico by the end of 2022. For now, the airline will focus on flights from Mexico to Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, and with others such as Calgary and Ottawa from the beach destinations.
