Air Canada is adding another new route in the Caribbean.

The carrier has announced the planned launch of a new route between Toronto and Cartagena on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, set to launch Dec. 18.

The weekly Monday flight will be operated on Air Canada’s Rouge brand on 136-seat Airbus A319 aircraft with two cabins of service: premium Rouge and economy.

“It is never too early to start planning an escape from the Canadian winter, and Air Canada is pleased to give customers more options to consider with the launch of a new Air Canada Rouge route to Cartagena. This nearly 500-year-old city on Colombia’s Caribbean coast offers visitors prime urban, beach and adventure tourism,” said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada. “With this new route, along with our year-round Toronto-Bogota increasing to five- from four-times weekly this winter, Air Canada will offer the best coverage of the Canada-Colombia market, with the most seats and frequency.”

The Cartagena flights will operate between Dec. 18 and April 9, 2018.
