Air Canada Cranks Up Service to Latin America Big Time! 🛫 🇨🇺
Air Canada Expands Winter Flight Network Towards Latin America as Travel to U.S. Decreases
Ready for some major travel vibes? Canada's largest airline, Air Canada, is seriously ramping up its Latin America game! Four new destinations and a whopping 13 new routes are on the table. You heard that right - Rio de Janeiro, Cartagena, Guatemala City, and Guadalajara are the lucky ones entering the Air Canada family 🌟.
The excitement doesn't end there! The airline unveiled plans to jet-set to popular spots like Santiago, Pointe-a-Pitre, Fort-de-France, Nassau, Montego Bay, and Huatulco. As if that wasn't enough, Air Canada's announcing additional frequencies to beloved holiday destinations 🏖️ 🌴.
This chest-thumping robustness isn't just for show: Air Canada's calling it their biggest step forward yet in Latin America, with a seating increase of 16% compared to the previous winter season. That's over 80,000 weekly seats across more than 55 daily flights!
Sayonara, WestJet Flights to the USA? 🛑
While Air Canada's all fired up, Canada's second-largest airline, WestJet, might be scaling back on some cross-border flights. With a reported surge in demand for domestic travel, WestJet's suspending several flights from Canada to the good ol' US of A.
Pinpointing this trend, Air Canada announced in February that it would be trimming flights to Florida, Las Vegas, and Arizona by 10%. And they've got something broader brewing, too - they're using smaller aircraft for trips across the pond 🛫.
