We're excited to announce new Air Canada rouge destinations starting this spring and summer.

 

Toronto to Miami (starts May 2), Fort Myers (starts May 1), Charlottetown (starts May 2 until October 2016), and Deer Lake (starts June 20)

Montreal to Miami (starts May 7) will now be year round and Mexico City (starts June 6)

Vancouver to San Diego (summer 2016 service only, starts June 2) and Calgary to Phoenix, which will now be year-round.

 

Always wanted to see Miami go year round!

Mexico City now goes 5x weekly instead of 4.

Miami is a 2x weekly. (TUE. & WED.)

During the summer Miami will be 2x weekly Sat and Sun

 

Winter I believe its 9 or 10x weekly

AC does not want to encourage Montreal travelers to use Miami as a gateway into Latin America. They want to direct that traffic through YYZ.

Didn't Air Canada make a point about YUL-MEX being mainline when it started.. and now it's switching to rouge or will it be a combination of the two? I'm presuming from this Rouge is replacing mainline.

If you are speaking about the twice weekly in the summer.

I believe that it is more a question of the season and the market, and not that AC wants to redirect traffic to YYZ.

It is a known fact that a lot of more people travel down south during winter months.

Also, AA serves the YUL-MIA twice daily already. If this market was able to sustain a 3x/daily flight in the summer, I am pretty sure AA would have done so already.

American Airlines does fly 3x daily in the summer already

Reducing to 2 daily permanently due to the weak Canadian dollar

 

Meanwhile its working great for Air Canada the other way around.
