Mexico returned to the highest FAA safety category (Category 1) last month after two years of being downgraded (more about this here). Now, Aeromexico is beefing up its transborder options enabled by its Joint Cooperation Agreement (JCA) with Delta Air Lines.
Beginning in January, Aeromexico will launch 17 new routes from seven airports in Mexico to nine destinations in the US. All of these will be available as Delta codeshare flights. Overall, Aeromexico plans to operate nearly 60 daily frequencies to the US by July, which is a 35% increase in departures compared to 2023 (this also gives Aeromexico a presence in 36 US markets). Delta is planning to operate 34 daily frequencies in July to seven different Mexican destinations. The Delta -Aeromexico JCA will deliver over 30% more seats year-over-year.
Aeromexico’s increase in routes and frequencies is possible due to its renewed fleet with more than 50 new aircraft, most of them Boeing 737MAX. These new routes include flights between:
Monterrey International Airport (MTY)
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
- Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
Guanajuato International Airport (BJX)
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)
Queretaro International Airport (QRO)
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)
Mérida International Airport (MID)
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
Mexico City International Airport (MEX)
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)
- Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
- Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU)
- Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
- McAllen International Airport (MFE)
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport (GDL)
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)
Delta and Aeromexico want to be the leading airline alliance between Mexico and the United States and the largest trans-border air market in the world.
Anthony’s Take: There are likely lots more announcements to come since Mexico has regained its Category 1 status with the FAA. These codeshares will offer both Aeromexico and Delta passengers a seamless experience.
