Traveling from Mexico to the United States? Aeroméxico announces new direct flights for 2027

The Aeroméxico and Delta Air Lines alliance will expand its network between the Mexican capital and the United States to 30 destinations with three new direct routes to Nashville and New Orleans, and to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

This Monday's announcement comes two weeks after announcing routes to Orange County, Fort Lauderdale, and Portland, and also included the opening of an additional daily frequency to Austin, Texas, starting in June 2027.

The three new routes will have four weekly frequencies and will be operated by Aeroméxico, as specified by the company in a statement.

The company stated that these will be the only direct flight options between Mexico City and those destinations as part of its Joint Cooperation Agreement with Delta.

Service to Nashville will begin on June 13 from Mexico and June 14 from Tennessee; New Orleans will start on June 17, and San Juan on June 24 from Mexico City and June 25 from Puerto Rico.

Nashville and New Orleans will be operated with Embraer 190 aircraft for 99 passengers, with 11 in Premier Class, while San Juan and the new frequency to Austin will use Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft with a capacity of 166 travelers, including 16 in Premier.

Together with Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, the company plans to operate six daily flights between the Mexican capital and Texas.

"In conjunction with Delta, we will continue exploring markets and creating greater connections that strengthen tourism and ties between Mexico and the United States," said Giancarlo Mulinelli, Senior Vice President of Global Sales for Aeroméxico.

Alex Antila, Vice President for Latin America at Delta, noted that the U.S. carrier operates more than 60 daily departures from Austin on peak demand days to nearly 30 destinations and that the second Aeroméxico flight will expand connections.

From Nashville, New Orleans, and San Juan, passengers will be able to connect with Aeroméxico's domestic and international network to Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

The announcement expands on the expansion revealed in October by Aeroméxico and Delta, which will open daily flights from Mexico City to Orange County, Fort Lauderdale, and Portland in January.

Aeroméxico's international expansion for 2027 also includes Mexico City-Milan, Guadalajara-Paris, Mexico City-Nassau, and Mexico City-Montego Bay.

With Milan and Rome, it projects 10 weekly flights to Italy, and its European network will exceed 75 weekly flights in each direction during the summer.

Tickets for the new routes and the additional frequency to Austin are already available through both airlines' channels.
