“It is never too early to start planning an escape from the Canadian winter, and Air Canada is pleased to give customers more options to consider with the launch of a new Air Canada Rouge route to Cartagena. This nearly 500-year-old city on Colombia’s Caribbean coast offers visitors prime urban, beach and adventure tourism,” said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada. “With this new route, along with our year-round Toronto–Bogota increasing to five- from four-times weekly this winter, Air Canada will offer the best coverage of the Canada–Colombia market, with the most seats and frequency.”

The new, non-stop Toronto-Cartagena flights will operate with a 136-seat Air Canada Rouge Airbus A319 aircraft offering two cabins of service, Premium Rouge and Economy.
