Canada Halts Flights To Caribbean & Mexico Until May

By Newsroom

The Canadian government has announced that all flights to the Caribbean and Mexico will be halted from this Sunday, January 31st, until April 30th.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the decision was taken in an effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus and its variants.

“With the challenges we currently face with COVID-19 both here at home and abroad, we all agree that now is just not the time to be flying,” PM Trudeau said.

Air Canada, WestJet, Sunwing, and Air Transat will be making arrangements with customers currently travelling in the affected regions to organize their return flights.

“We appreciate the work the Canadian airlines and their front line workers have done to make air travel safer and to bring Canadians home when this pandemic struck last spring,” Trudeau said.

Looking ahead, the Canadian Prime Minister said his government is committed to a safe restart to travel and tourism as soon as conditions improve, “ideally, later this year.”
