Segundo vuelo desde Canadá arribó a Nicaragua en la Navidad
Esta ruta Montreal-Managua se mantendrá al menos hasta el próximo mes de abril de 2026 operada por WestJet

TL;DR
- WestJet launched a new direct seasonal flight route from Canada to Managua, Nicaragua, on December 25th.
- The route will operate weekly on Thursdays until April 2026, using Boeing 737 aircraft.
- Flights are primarily focused on tourist packages and represent the only direct connection between Canada and Nicaragua.
- Sandinista media attribute the route to peace and stability, ignoring human rights concerns and alleged dictatorial actions by Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
- The Nicaraguan Institute of Tourism (Intur) and the Sandinista dictatorship are credited with enabling this connection.
- This route is part of a broader effort to strengthen international routes, which also includes a temporary route to the United States.
- Avianca will reactivate a route between Managua and Madrid in June 2026, with a stop in San Salvador.
- Tourists in Nicaragua face restrictions, including prohibitions on cameras and Bibles, the latter described as 'ridiculous' by Bishop Silvio Báez.
