Flair announces Mexico City route from YVR & YYZ

Flair Airlines has announced the launch of nonstop service to Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez (MEX) from both Vancouver (YVR) and Toronto (YYZ).

Beginning in October, there will be three flights per week on each route, with one-way fares starting from $160 CAD from YYZ-MEX and $141 CAD from YVR-MEX.

“For too long, flights to Mexico City have been out of reach for too many,” said Maciej Wilk, CEO of Flair Airlines, in. press release. “We’re changing that. Flair is the only value airline in Canada, making it possible for customers to explore the capital of Mexico, and for Mexicans to discover all that Toronto and Vancouver have to offer.”

The low-cost airline already operates flights to popular Mexican destinations like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara.

“Mexico and Canada have long enjoyed a close and dynamic relationship, connecting families, businesses and curious travellers who explore each other’s rich cultures,” said Acting Consul General Luis Hernandez. “On behalf of the Consulate General of Mexico in Vancouver, I am delighted to welcome Flair’s new direct flights to Mexico City from Vancouver and Toronto. Expanding reliable and affordable air service strengthens the vital links between our two nations and opens new opportunities for travel, tourism and economic exchange.”

“Whether it’s a long-awaited visit with loved ones or a chance to explore one of the world’s great cities, Flair is committed to making air travel more accessible, seamless and affordable for Canadians, Mexicans and everyone in between,” added Wilk.
