Air Canada resumes Lima flights, adds Toronto-Puerto Escondido, Vancouver-Tepic

Air Canada is expanding its winter 2025-26 network by resuming non-stop service to Lima, Peru with twice weekly flights from both Montreal and Toronto.

According to a press release, the airline is also adding three new routes to Central America and Mexico including, Montreal-Belize, Toronto-Puerto Escondido, and Vancouver-Tepic, Riviera Nayarit.

The flights are now available to book.  

“Air Canada is further diversifying its global network this winter under its New Frontiers Strategy by capitalizing on strong leisure demand to sought-after vacation destinations in South and Central America and in Mexico’s Oaxaca and Pacific coast areas. Our new flights are designed to provide easy connections for both Canadian and European travellers, as well as to take advantage of cargo opportunities in the region,” said Mark Galardo, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, and president, Cargo at Air Canada, in a statement.

“Customers will have even more compelling choices when planning vacation travel this winter. From Peru’s rich history and archaeological ruins, the legendary Belize Barrier Reef, or Mexico’s vibrant and rapidly emerging hidden gem vacation spots, Air Canada is proud to bring new and exciting destinations for our customers to explore. We look forward to welcoming you onboard our award-winning airline soon.”

Unlock Mexico

Air Canada's latest routes to Mexico are unlocking access to both trending and hidden vacation gems.

Puerto Escondido, located along Oaxaca’s stunning Pacific coast, is a laid-back surf haven renowned for its beaches and extraordinary waves.

On Mexico’s western coast, Air Canada’s new Vancouver-Tepic, Riviera Nayarit service opens a fresh gateway to the Riviera Nayarit—timed perfectly with the completion of a new highway linking Tepic to Puerto Vallarta in October 2025.

Oceanfront gems such as San Pancho, Sayulita, and Punta Mita will be within a 30-minute to one-hour drive from Tepic’s airport.

This winter, Air Canada will offer over 80,000 weekly seats on more than 55 daily flights to 52 destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean, representing the greatest number of sun destinations the airline has served.
