Segundo vuelo desde Canadá arribó a Nicaragua en la Navidad

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.
