It says a number of popular holiday destinations currently served by Air Canada’s mainline carrier will be converted to Rouge beginning in October as additional aircraft are released by the mainline airline for operation by its leisure carrier.

Among the destinations Rouge will serve are a number in the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico, as well as Las Vegas, and Orlando and Sarasota, Fla.
