Three U.S. Cities Are About to Get Their First Nonstop to Mexico City

Aeromexico and its longtime partner Delta announced on Monday, November 9, that Mexico City will gain nonstop service to Nashville, New Orleans and San Juan, Puerto Rico, next summer. According to AirlineGeeks, none of the three cities currently has a nonstop link to the Mexican capital, which makes the routes a genuine addition rather than a frequency bump on an existing market. Each will operate four times a week, giving travelers in Tennessee, Louisiana and Puerto Rico a one-flight path into Mexico City and onward connections across Aeromexico’s domestic and Latin American network.

The schedule is staggered across June 2027. Nashville launches on June 13, New Orleans follows on June 17, and San Juan begins on June 24. The Nashville and New Orleans flights will use 99-seat Embraer E190 regional jets, while San Juan gets a larger Boeing 737 MAX 8 with 166 seats. Aeromexico is also adding a second daily flight between Mexico City and Austin, Texas, starting June 3, a sign that the carrier sees room to grow in mid-sized U.S. markets rather than only in the biggest hubs.

The new cities build on routes the partners revealed in October, when they announced Mexico City service to Orange County in California, Fort Lauderdale in Florida and Portland in Oregon. Giancarlo Mulinelli, Aeromexico’s senior vice president of global sales, said in a news release that the additions give customers more ways to connect and support tourism and ties between Mexico and the United States. Together, the announcements point to a steady push to reach U.S. travelers who previously had to connect through a larger gateway to reach Mexico City.

For anyone planning a summer 2027 trip, the routes mean a simpler journey, whether that is a Nashville music fan heading to Mexico City’s food scene or a Mexican traveler bound for New Orleans. AirlineGeeks did not report when tickets go on sale or what fares will look like, so keep an eye on Aeromexico and Delta’s booking pages. Because the regional jets on the Nashville and New Orleans flights carry fewer than 100 seats, popular dates may sell out faster than on larger aircraft, especially around holidays and festivals.
