Mérida, Yucatán, December 14, 2021.- After almost 2 years of suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Toronto-Mérida air link has resumed operations, thanks to the efforts of Governor Mauricio Vila Dosal with the WestJet airline to continue to promote the recovery of connectivity in this manner.
