Air Canada (TSX:AC) says it will resume flights to sun destinations in Jamaica, Mexico and Barbados beginning in May.
Canada’s flagship airline had suspended all flights to sun destinations in January at the request of the federal government because of the pandemic. The suspension on flights to sun destinations expires on April 30.
Air Canada says it will operate three flights per week from Toronto to Mexico City starting May 3, and one flight per week from Toronto to Kingston, Jamaica and Bridgetown, Barbados beginning May 5 and May 9.
Air Canada said in its most recent earnings call in February that it expected the federal government to replace some quarantine measures for international travelers with a testing program at airports by the time the suspensions were scheduled to lift at the end of April.
In addition to flights to sun destinations, Air Canada also suspended some routes to the U.S. and other countries earlier this year due to low demand for travel. The airline plans to restore some routes, including Vancouver to Tokyo as of May 1, Toronto to Hong Kong as of May 6 and Toronto to Bogota, Colombia as of May 7.
