Aeroméxico to Launch New Direct Flights to Nashville, New Orleans, and San Juan in 2027

Expanding U.S.ing and Caribbean Networks

The joint venture between Aeroméxico and Delta Air Lines will push its total network between the Mexican capital and the United States to 30 destinations. Under their Joint Cooperation Agreement, the carriers are adding these weekly operations to capture rising demand. Sociedad Noticias reported that the new additions follow earlier announcements regarding routes to Portland, Orange County, and Fort Lauderdale scheduled for January 2027. From Nashville, New Orleans and San Juan, the sources noted that passengers will also be able to connect in the Mexican capital with other destinations of the airline’s network in Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Giancarlo Mulinelli, senior vice president of Global Sales at Aeroméxico, stated that the new additions will bring passengers closer to unique destinations. La incorporación de Nashville, Nueva Orleans y San Juan a nuestra red nos permitirá brindar mayores opciones de conectividad acercando a los pasajeros a destinos con identidad única y grandes atractivos, Mulinelli said, as reported by Sociedad Noticias.

Mulinelli also added that they will continue exploring markets and creating greater connections together with Delta to strengthen tourism and ties between Mexico and the United States.

New Routes Connect Mexico City to Three Destinations

Aeroméxico will fly four weekly frequencies to Nashville, New Orleans, and San Juan, making these the only direct flights connecting Mexico City to those three destinations. Sociedad Noticias reported that the Nashville service starts June 13 from Mexico City, while flights to New Orleans begin June 17, and the San Juan route launches June 24. For Nashville, return flights operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, departing at 09:30 and arriving at 12:05, while outbound flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays leave Mexico City at 15:15 and arrive at 20:00. For New Orleans, flights operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays in both directions, with departures from Mexico at 09:40 arriving at 13:30, and return flights leaving at 15:00 and landing at 16:50.

All times correspond to the local hours indicated by the airlines.

The carrier is assigning different aircraft models based on route capacity and demand. Embraer 190 jets, holding 99 passengers with 11 premier seats, will handle the Nashville and New Orleans routes. Larger Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, seating 166 passengers with 16 premier seats, will operate the San Juan and Austin services, according to Sociedad Noticias.

Growing Texas Connections

Starting June 3, 2027, Aeroméxico will introduce a second daily frequency to Austin, Texas, with the return flight starting on June 4 from Austin. Sociedad Noticias reported that this addition brings the airline’s total daily flights between Mexico City and Texas to six, covering Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The new daily flight departs Mexico at 16:35 and arrives at 20:10, while the return flight takes off at 08:30 and lands at 10:00.

Alex Antila, vice president for Latin America at Delta, noted that the expansion builds on an existing operational base in Austin.

Delta ha mantenido un crecimiento constante en Austin y, actualmente, opera más de 60 salidas diarias en los días de mayor demanda hacia casi 30 destinos, Antila stated, according to Sociedad Noticias.

Antila further expressed that the second flight will add to this growth, and that Aeroméxico customers will have more flight options to connect easily from Austin to the rest of the Delta network because of their Joint Cooperation Agreement.
