Air Canada announced the expansion of its winter sun network to include four new routes from Toronto and Montreal to Monterrey and Los Cabos in Mexico, as well as La Romana and Fort-de-France in the Caribbean.

The airline is also deploying an increase in capacity from its Vancouver hub to popular destinations such as Mexico, Miami, Phoenix, Las Vegas and San Diego, as well as additional flights from coast to coast to popular winter vacation destinations in Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean.

"We are seeing strong, ongoing interest for winter leisure travel, and as the leading carrier from Canada to popular sun destinations with up to 683 weekly flights planned this winter, we are thrilled to add exciting new services from Toronto and Montreal to the Caribbean and Mexico and significant increases from our Vancouver hub in response to pent up demand," said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada.
