With the start of this and other routes, Aeromexico will serve 36 U.S. markets by July 2024. A founding member of the SkyTeam Alliance, Aeromexico has a codeshare agreement with Delta Air Lines for smooth connectivity and customer services on cross-border flights between the U.S. and Mexico.
"We are pleased to announce our new route linking two vibrant capitals – Mexico City and Washington, D.C. This expansion further demonstrates our commitment to strengthening the ties between Mexico and the United States, one of the largest air travel markets in the world. We look forward to offering customers in the Washington area enhanced travel options to Mexico City as well as beyond to the more than 40 additional points we serve across the country of Mexico," said Jeff Morgan, Aeromexico’s Senior Vice President - Network Planning and Scheduling.
“In today's increasingly interconnected relationship between Mexico and the U.S., this new flight between Mexico City and Washington Dulles International Airport symbolizes the strengthening of our relationship every day,” said Esteban Moctezuma, Ambassador of Mexico to the United States. “It underscores the interdependency between our two nations, not only in terms of trade and diplomacy but also in the realm of tourism and culture.”
