The airline has offered service to Brazil for more than two decades, and this new route will increase the carrier’s total monthly seats offer between both countries by 43%.
Mexico is one of Brazil’s strategic markets that has shown substantial growth during the last few years, and one of the important boosters has been the tourism offer of the state of Quintana Roo. Among Cancun’s main visitors are Brazilians.
This route is in addition to the nonstop service that Aeromexico announced last week from Guadalajara and Monterrey to Madrid.
The carrier currently serves 81 domestic and international routes and continues to apply the industry’s highest health and cleanliness standards in all its operations.
Starting December 15, Aeromexico will offer nonstop service between Guadalajara and Madrid with three weekly flights. This route represents a 21% growth in its total monthly seat capacity between Mexico and Spain, and the possibility of serving more Aeromexico Cargo customers.
The route will be operated with its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, and customers will be able to travel nonstop from Guadalajara to Spain, making their travel experience more comfortable. This service is in addition to the 14 weekly flights that the airline operates from Mexico City to the Spanish capital, a route that has more than 60 years of operating. For the launch, Aeromexico will offer introductory fares starting at USD 599 in Economy Class and USD 1999 in Premier Class.
Aeromexico recently announced the acquisition of new state-of-the-art aircraft, whose deliveries began last June. With this, Mexico’s global airline will continue to increase its connectivity network, offering a cutting- edge service with the highest safety standards and modern, efficient, and less polluting aircraft.
Aeromexico Cargo can serve 41 airports in Mexico and multiple international destinations in the U.S., Canada, Central, and South America, Asia, and Europe.
Mexico City, July 20, 2021 – Aeromexico is working to continue adding new aircraft to its fleet and plans to add 12 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The arrival is expected to begin next October.
These aircraft are in addition to the 28 that the company announced last April, making a total of 40 new aircraft to increase its fleet, replace other aircraft and improve connectivity.
The agreement to add these 12 aircraft is being negotiated with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) and is subject to the approval of the United States Court for the Southern District of New York, in charge of Aeromexico’s Chapter 11 voluntary financial restructuring process.
Aeromexico’s current fleet is comprised of 118 aircraft: 47 Embraer 190’s, 53 Boeing 737’s, and 18 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

The route will be operated with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, which has a load capacity of more than 30 tons or 130 m3, depending on the type of cargo.

The growth of e-commerce, medical supplies and high-tech products shipping from this city to the rest of the world, has been exponential during the last year reaching more than a 500% increase. Due to its infrastructure, the Wuhan airport stood out in the first position among 22 other airports in China in the ranking of passenger transport in the country.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Aeromexico Cargo has completed more than 235 exclusive cargo flights from China to Mexico and 16 other countries, transporting more than 4,000 tons of essential medical supplies.

Aeromexico Cargo can operate in more than 40 airports in Mexico and in multiple international destinations in the US, Canada, Central and South America, Asia and Europe. The most common cargo is perishable products, live animals, high-value goods, technology, medicines, and medical supplies, among others.

Additionally, starting next week, both carriers announce an increase in their service to Houston.
With these resumptions, the airlines will offer a total of 47 routes between the United States and Mexico, increasing connectivity to benefit their joint customers.

It’s also home to a thriving technology community and the University of Texas at Austin.
Further north, Dallas is a great business and leisure destination, featuring the largest urban art district in the United States, more than 160 museums in the metropolitan area, and the biggest and oldest zoo in Texas. It’s also home to companies from important sectors such as telecommunications, information technology, financial services, and transportation.
During April, both airlines will offer approximately 3,600 flights between the U.S. and Mexico, a seven-fold increase compared to the same period in 2020.

The Italian government is begging U.S. major Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE: DAL) to up the proposed acquisition of a 10% stake in Alitalia for $100 million to at least 15%, according to a report in Italian media.
Loss-making Alitalia has been seeking new investors for more than two years after going into administration in May 2017 after workers rejected a plan to cut jobs and salaries. Successive Italian governments have had to balance the carrier’s massive losses with the need to placate a heavily unionized workforce.
