Aeroméxico announces 6 new non-stop flights to US, Puerto Rico starting in 2027

Aeroméxico has announced it will expand its offerings from Mexico City International Airport in 2027 with six new routes to the United States and Puerto Rico, as part of its commercial alliance with Delta Airlines. The expansion includes Nashville, New Orleans and San Juan, with flights beginning in June. Aeroméxico will operate four weekly frequencies on each route, becoming the only carrier offering non-stop flights to those destinations. CDMX-Nashville will begin operations on June 13; CDMX-New Orleans, on the 17th; and CDMX-San Juan, on the 24th. The Nashville and New Orleans routes will use 99-seat Embraer 190s, while the San Juan route will use a 166-seat Boeing 737-8. “The addition of Nashville, New Orleans and San Juan to our network will allow us to offer greater connectivity options, bringing passengers closer to destinations with unique identities and major attractions,” Giancarlo Mulinelli, vice president of sales at Aeroméxico, said. Beyond the new routes, the airline will add a second daily flight between Austin, Texas, and CDMX, starting June 3, 2027. With existing routes to Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, the additional service will give Aeroméxico six daily departures from Mexico City to Texas. The airline’s expansion follows the recent announcement of daily services between Mexico City and Orange County, California; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and Portland, Oregon starting in January 2027. All three flights will operate year-round using a Boeing 737-8 aircraft. The move addresses an increasing demand for these destinations. Data from Sabre Market Intelligence, cited by Aviation Week, indicate that Nashville, New Orleans, and San Juan accounted for approximately 101,600 passengers traveling to and from Mexico City in 2025 — a combined growth of 19% compared to the previous year. San Juan accounted for approximately 52,800 passengers, followed by Nashville with 27,900 and New Orleans with 20,900. With reports from Aviation Week and SPD Noticias
