VANCOUVER — Flair Airlines has opened a new gateway to Mexico with the launch of the first-ever nonstop service from Canada to Guanajuato International Airport.

The inaugural flight departed Vancouver International Airport on Oct. 3, giving Canadian travellers direct access to Mexico’s Bajío region, including León, Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende.

Nonstop service between Vancouver and Guanajuato will run weekly, with one-way base fares starting at $184 from Vancouver to Guanajuato and $176 in the reverse direction.

“Flair looks for opportunities to connect Canadians to places that haven’t been well served, and the Bajío is a great example,” said Len Corrado, CEO of Flair Airlines. “This route gives Canadians their first nonstop connection to an important region of Mexico, opening up León, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende and beyond. We’re making it easier and more affordable for Canadians to experience a different part of Mexico, while creating a new connection between the two countries.”

BAJÍO CONNECTION

The new route puts travellers within easy reach of a region known for its food, culture, history and colourful cities. San Miguel de Allende is just over an hour from Guanajuato International Airport and was named the world’s best city by Travel + Leisure in 2026 for the third consecutive year.

The new Vancouver service is also expected to strengthen tourism, business and cultural connections between Canada and Guanajuato.

“This new connection between Vancouver and Guanajuato opens a new gateway connecting our people and our destinations,” said Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo, Governor of Guanajuato.
“We want more Canadians to discover the heart of Mexico: a state rich in history, culture and extraordinary cuisine, and, above all, home to warm and welcoming people. Every new route means more visitors, more opportunities for our communities, and a stronger Guanajuato that is increasingly connected to the world.”
