Today (March 29, 2022), Air Canada announced the launch of a new interline partnership with Mexican carrier Aeromar. The partnership will provide seamless connectivity between destinations in Mexico and across Air Canada’s global network via Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun.

Air Canada currently serves seven destinations including Mexico City, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cozumel, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and Huatulco from Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec and Winnipeg.
Under the interline partnership, customers can now enjoy connections to additional destinations in Aeromar’s network such as Acapulco, Aguascalientes, Colima, Cuidad Victoria, Flores/Tikal, Guadalajara, Havana, Ixtepec, Piedras Negras, Puerto Escondido, Tepic and Villahermosa. The airlines are also committed to exploring a deeper commercial collaboration in the form of a codeshare relationship, and are currently working on the launch of Aeromar as a new partner of Air Canada’s Aeroplan loyalty program.
In Tuesday’s announcement, Air Canada’s Senior Vice President – Network Planning and Revenue Management, Mark Gallardo, said,
“Mexico is an extremely popular market for Canadian leisure travellers as well as a significant business market due to our countries’ trading relationship. We are very pleased to partner with Aeromar because it allows us to offer our customers convenient access to a wider range of destinations throughout Mexico. Moreover, this agreement will advance our strategy to strengthen our major Canadian hubs with connecting traffic. We look forward to deepening our partnership with Aeromar to the benefit of both airlines’ customers.”
Also commenting on the new interline partnership, Aeromar’s Chief Network Officer, Fabricio Cojuc, said,

We expect our collaboration to develop rapidly and are grateful to Air Canada for its trust and commitment to Aeromar.
