U.S. and Canadian airlines have begun announcing new routes and increased flights for the upcoming winter Cancun travel season. Bernardo Cueto Riestra, the State Secretary of Tourism (Sedetur), says the state has strengthened its connectivity with the U.S. and Canada.

“As a result of the tourism promotion, high-quality services and natural beauties of the different destinations, Quintana Roo will have new routes and air frequencies for this winter season, strengthening connectivity from Canada and the United States,” he reported.

Cueto Riestra explained that the main airlines in the United States and Canada, including American Airlines, Delta, Air Canada and Westjet, have increased their flight frequencies to Cancun and the island of Cozumel for the upcoming winter season.

He says so far, Hamilton – Cancun, Cincinnati–Cancun, Pittsburgh–Cancun, Nashville–Cancun and Raleigh-Cancun are new direct winter connections. Cozueml also has new routes and increased flights from Montreal by Air Canada and from Atlanta and Minneapolis by Delta.

“This increase in connections underlines the importance and attractiveness of Cozumel as one of the most desired beach destinations,” he pointed out.

“These results are a positive bet of the airlines for the destinations of the Mexican Caribbean and reinforce our commitment to continue offering the best of Mexican tourism to the world,” Bernardo Cueto added.
