MONTREAL— Air Canada and Aeromar have launched a new interline partnership that will offer customers seamless connectivity between destinations in Mexico and Air Canada’s global network via Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun.

Customers are now able to book flights on both airlines on a single ticket itinerary, and enjoy the benefits of seamless check-in, boarding and baggage transfer throughout their entire journey.

Tickets can be booked through travel agents and online at aircanada.com.

“Mexico is an extremely popular market for Canadian leisure travellers as well as a significant business market due to our countries’ trading relationship,” said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President Network Planning and Revenue Management at Air Canada. “We are very pleased to partner with Aeromar because it allows us to offer our customers convenient access to a wider range of destinations throughout Mexico.”

Fabricio Cojuc, Aeromar’s Chief Network Officer, added: “Canada and Mexico share very intense commercial and tourism ties, with air travel a key enabler for growth. We expect our collaboration to develop rapidly and are grateful to Air Canada for its trust and commitment to Aeromar.”

Air Canada serves seven destinations in Mexico (Mexico City, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cozumel, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, and Huatulco) from eight Canadian cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec, and Winnipeg). Connections are available through its global network to more than 185 destinations worldwide.

Air Canada’s overall capacity to Mexico will exceed pre-pandemic levels this summer, while further ramping up to more than 100 weekly flights next winter.

Aeromar’s connecting destinations includes Acapulco, Aguascalientes, Colima, Ciudad Victoria, Flores/Tikal, Guadalajara, Havana, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Ixtepec, Piedras Negras, Puerto Escondido, Tepic and Villahermosa.

The airlines are also exploring a deeper cooperation in the form of a codeshare relationship and are currently working on the launch of Aeromar as a partner of Air Canada’s Aeroplan program. Expected to be in place before summer 202, this cooperation will be Aeroplan’s first partner airline based in Mexico, offering members even more options to accrue and redeem Aeroplan points on all Aeromar operated flights.
