Air Canada’s flights to Tulum & Charleston take off

Air Canada is boosting its North American network capacity for summer 2024.

The move comes with the addition of two new destinations, five new routes, increased flight frequencies on key routes, and earlier resumption of popular seasonal routes in response to projected demand.

Air Canada becomes the first Canadian airline to offer service to Tulum*, with flights from Toronto and Montreal to the newest airport in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, and to Charleston, SC from Toronto. New Austin and St. Louis flights from Montreal will also be available in summer 2024.

Seats are now available for purchase at aircanada.com, via the Air Canada app, Air Canada’s contact centres and through travel agents. Flights to Tulum will be available for sale on Dec. 15.

In-demand destinations

“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 U.S.,” said Mark Galardo, executive vice-president, revenue and network planning, Air Canada.

“We are also very pleased to grow our North American network from coast to coast with additional frequencies in key markets including Ottawa, Calgary, Saskatoon and Regina, in regional markets, and by resuming major seasonal routes earlier. By adding scale to our Canadian hubs, we are offering more travel choices and unparalleled access to and from our worldwide network. We look forward to welcoming our customers onboard,” he added.

For summer 2024, Air Canada will be serving 120 destinations in Canada, the U.S. and the Caribbean with up to 520 flights every day, translating to approximately 66,000 seats being dispatched, representing an increase of five per cent North America and Caribbean seat capacity from 2023.
