Expanded Air Travel Between Mexico and Canada to be Announced at North American Leaders’ Summit


Expanded air travel between Mexico and Canada is expected to be part of the agenda of this week’s North American Leaders’ Summit in Toluca.

In an interview with the Canadian Press, Sergio Alcocer Martinez, Mexico’s undersecretary for North America, said the new air agreement would greatly expand the current one between the two countries, which is more than 50 years old. It would allow more direct Mexican flights to Canadian cities, beyond the current routes to Montreal and Toronto.

“The new agreement, which will be signed, is much broader in terms of allowing more companies, more destinations, code shares among the airlines. And that certainly will help our trade, our business people, to move back and forth, as well as tourism,” Alcocer told The Canadian Press.
