Air Canada and Mexico’s Interjet have signed an interline agreement, the two sides announced this week.

That means travelers can purchase a single ticket for flights on either airline; the agreement will cover travel from Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver to both Mexico City and Cancun.

“We are very excited to start the new year with this important interline agreement between Interjet Airlines and Air Canada,” said Julio Gamero, Interjet’s Chief Commercial Officer. “The growth of our business between Canada and Mexico has exceeded expectations and this is the next logical step to maintaining this success.”

The agreement also means travelers can check baggage at their origination point to their final destination, with easy connections at airports served by both carriers.
