The Aeromexico – Delta alliance announced that, starting in June 2027, it will connect Mexico City with Nashville, Tennessee; New Orleans, Louisiana; and San Juan, Puerto Rico .
“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 great attractions. Together with Delta, we will continue exploring markets and creating more connections that strengthen tourism and ties between Mexico and the United States,” said Giancarlo Mulinelli, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at Aeromexico.
In addition to these additions, starting June 3, the airline will add a new daily flight between Mexico City and Austin, Texas . This, along with service to Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, will bring Aeromexico’s total to six daily flights to Texas.
“Delta has maintained steady growth in Austin and currently operates more than 60 daily departures on peak days to nearly 30 destinations,” said Alex Antilla, Delta’s vice president for Latin America.
Aeromexico will operate the routes to Nashville and New Orleans with Embraer 190 aircraft , which have a capacity for 99 passengers, including 11 in Premier Class. For the routes to San Juan and Austin, it will operate 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which can carry up to 166 passengers, including 16 in Premier Class.
The addition of San Juan, Nashville, and New Orleans comes on top of recent announcements of direct routes to Portland, Orange County, and Fort Lauderdale from Mexico City , which will begin operations in January 2027 as part of the Aeromexico-Delta alliance’s expansion strategy and connectivity between Mexico and the United States.
The announcement comes after the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) reported on October 16 that the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) had decided to revoke the restrictions that prevented Mexican airlines from opening new flights from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) and Mexico City International Airport (AICM) to the United States, thus reopening the possibility of developing routes and frequencies to and from the US market.
