Starting in June, you can fly nonstop from New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport to Mexico City on Aeromexico. Louis Armstrong Aviation Director Kevin Dolliole says travelers on the new Aeromexico flights will be able to easily connect to more than 100 other destinations.
“They operate a network of 113 routes, the most extensive in Mexico’s aviation market; with 53 domestic routes and 60 international routes,” Dolliole noted.
The year-round service is scheduled to begin June 17th on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. New Orleans and Company President and CEO Walt Leger says the new flights will help draw more international visitors to the city, especially from Mexico.
“And now, with this new direct non-stop flight, that can only grow. It’s another step forward in strengthening the connections between our great nations,” Leger said.
New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno says Mexico is already a major economic partner for the city and for the state, especially since Mexico is Louisiana’s largest trading partner. Moreno says the flight is also great news for her personally.
“I am the first Latina Mayor of the City of New Orleans. Born in Mexico, although not Mexico City, but born in Mexico; and I can already tell you that my family in Mexico is very excited about this trip,” Moreno said.
