Aeroméxico will begin selling tickets on Monday, November 9, for a new direct route between Puerto Rico and Mexico City, with four weekly flights starting in June 2027, the airline announced. Giancarlo Mulinelli, Aeroméxico’s senior vice president of Global Sales, said the airline is pleased to start operations to Puerto Rico, a destination he said will win over passengers for its tourism offerings and its standing as one of the world’s most important cruise ports.
He said the route will strengthen the network operated under the Aeroméxico-Delta alliance and create new connectivity between the two countries. Governor Jenniffer Aidyn González Colón said her administration has worked to recover the important air connection with Mexico City, calling Mexico a market of great opportunity for Puerto Rico through tourism, trade, investment and economic development.
Willianette Robles Cancel, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company (CTPR), said the alliance with Aeroméxico diversifies the island’s air access and strengthens its presence in the Mexican market. Last year, a federal order eliminated 13 routes by Mexican airlines to their destinations, a stipulation that included Puerto Rico.
