Aeromexico announced new nonstop flights between Austin, Texas and Mexico City, Mexico. The new service is scheduled to start on Nov. 17.
“Aeromexico’s new Austin-Mexico City service will build a bridge to opportunities in Mexico,” said Mayor Steve Adler. “This new direct flight links our two capitals and brings Mexico City’s ancient pyramids that much closer to our statues of Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Welcome, Aeromexico.”
From Austin, the flights will depart Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 1:09 p.m. arriving in Mexico City at 3:33 p.m. Return flights from Mexico City will depart on the same days at 9:30 a.m., arriving in Austin at 11:53 a.m.
From Mexico City, convenient connections to 45 destinations in Mexico are available on Aeromexico. Beyond Mexico, Aeromexico offers service to 15 destinations in Latin America, four in Europe, three in Canada, and two in Asia.
“The new Austin – Mexico City nonstop flight is a step forward to the strengthening of the relationship between two capital cities that will not only bring both of our people closer than ever, but also expand our economic and trade potential,” said the Consul General of Mexico in Austin Carlos González Gutiérrez.
“With the inauguration of this new service, Aeromexico adds its 17th destination in the United States, consolidating its position as the leading airline in Mexico with the largest presence in North America,” said Anko Van der Werff, chief revenue officer, at Aeromexico.
“The Austin route will allow us to offer more and better connectivity options to/from Texas, with an average weekly offer of 6,500 seats that will increase economical, commercial, educational and cultural trade with the state,” he added.
