Air Canada has officially launched its newest service to the region: nonstop flights between Montreal and Mexico City.

The new flights are operating Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The flights depart Montreal at 8:25 AM and return from Mexico City at 2 PM.

“Our new route to Mexico City from Montreal expands upon our current services to the Mexican capital from Toronto-Pearson and Vancouver,” said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines, at Air Canada. “As one of the largest cities in the world, Mexico City offers great potential for business and leisure traffic travelling in both directions, which is why we are deploying mainline aircraft with Business Class service. The flights are also conveniently timed for onward connections through our domestic and international network..”

Air Canada is operating the flights on 120-seat Airbus A319 aircraft with business and economy cabins.
