COVID-19:

Further information to follow and will be updated accordingly based on Mexican government direction.

In an attempt to limit the spread of COVID-19, most governments have implemented preventative measures and restrictions.

These could include:

  • curfews, movement restrictions, or lockdowns
  • the obligation to wear a face-covering or a surgical mask in some circumstances
  • the obligation to present proof of vaccination or a COVID-19 test result to access public services and spaces

Before travelling, verify if specific restrictions or requirements are in effect.

Travel & Security:

Transport Canada has implemented strengthened security measures regarding passengers, carry-on luggage and electronic devices. 

Screening officers may ask travelers to present electronics for screening and request that some devices, including cell phones, are powered on. Powerless or broken devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft. For this reason, please ensure that any electronic devices that you will be taking on the plane are fully powered before you arrive at the airport.

Travelers and their carry-on luggage may also undergo additional screening.

These measures may cause delays. We recommend that you arrive well in advance of departure to allow for check-in, baggage drop-off, security screening and boarding. It’s recommended you arrive at your gate well in advance since some screening may be performed at the gate as well.
