Belize continues to strengthen its position as one of the most accessible and exciting destinations in the region with the arrival of the inaugural Air Canada flight from Montreal on December 8, 2025. This historic moment marks the first direct service connecting Montreal and Belize, opening the gateway for thousands of new travelers from Quebec and across Europe to explore the country’s rich culture, natural beauty, and world class adventure offerings.
A Major Milestone for Belize Tourism
The Belize Tourism Board celebrated the arrival of Air Canada’s new Montreal route with enthusiasm, recognizing the importance of improved connectivity for both leisure travelers and Belize’s growing diaspora community. This flight not only provides a direct link for visitors from Eastern Canada but also introduces seamless same day connections from major European cities.
With travelers now able to reach Belize with ease from destinations such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Zurich, Dublin, Brussels, Barcelona, Munich, and Rome, the country is positioned to welcome a broader and more diverse international audience. These enhanced options bring Belize closer to global travelers seeking sunshine, adventure, and authenticity.
Expanded Access Through Montreal and Improved Toronto Service
The Montreal service also complements Air Canada’s long standing Toronto Belize connection, which has been upgraded from an A319 to a larger A320 aircraft to support rising demand. This adjustment adds approximately thirty seats per flight, further expanding capacity just in time for the 2025 to 2026 high season.
The introduction of the Montreal route means that travelers from Quebec and surrounding provinces now have a convenient gateway to Belize that aligns perfectly with winter escape travel trends. For European travelers, the ability to connect through Montreal on the same day opens new possibilities for stress free travel without long layovers or complicated routing.
What This Means for Travelers Heading to Belize
With improved flight access, visiting Belize has never been easier. Travelers can look forward to discovering a destination that offers an incredible blend of nature, culture, and relaxation. Belize is home to the world renowned Belize Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers exceptional snorkeling and diving. Inland, visitors can explore ancient Maya temples, wander through lush jungles, and experience caves unlike anywhere else in the world.
This strengthened network of flights arrives at the perfect moment, as Belize continues to welcome travelers seeking meaningful, nature-centered experiences.
