MEX-YYZ down to 5x weekly

AM has cut service ex-MEX on We and Th so no YYZ-MEX service on Th and Fr. This is at least in mid Nov.

This is probably in response to the recent changes in visa requirements for Mexican nationals.

Once a week service

Might as well cancel the service completely than operate once a week...pretty much impractical for anybody except the odd vacationer going to spend a week with family. With AM code-sharing in ST with DL, must only be operating to maintain some sort of minimal route presence but undoubtedly at extremely low loads.

I would imagine the visa situation must have destroyed traffic, as well as the general economic malaise? Going via the U.S. would not be attractive to Mexican nationals as it's yet another visa they'll have to get (if they don't have one already).

All Mexican leisure travelers have a US visa - it's the one thing absolutely necessary if you're a Mexican citizen and you travel internationally (our geographic bad luck). Few people will get Canadian visas, as they're even more expensive than US ones, and there's nothing in Canada that you can't get in the US. I wouldn't be surprised to see all non-holiday links to Canada disappear completely.

Canada was apparently getting a fair number of (middle class) Mexican tourists who didn't want to go through the hassle of getting a U.S. visa. I imagine all that has disappeared with the visa requirement. How much do Mexicans have to pay? I imagine in the region of $125 (which is how much Chile charges for Canadians based on reciprocity).

Looks like this route is being cut 2 months early. Terminates 18 January.

Many mexicans see the process to get a US visa as a caotic one, subject to the humor of the US agent. In comparision, the process to get a Canada visa is relatively ease. I own both documents, and I feel tired just thinking I have to renew my US visa in 2 years.
