The focus is on meeting the high demand for leisure destinations among Canadian and European travelers, while also creating opportunities for cargo transport.
“We are offering more attractive options for those planning their winter vacations. From Peru’s ancient history and Belize’s marine landscapes to Mexico’s emerging hotspots, we want to connect our passengers with unique experiences,” said Galardo.
