Delta Air Lines and its partner Aeromexico, Mexico’s global airline, announced at a press conference the launch of operations of the Orlando-Monterrey route to provide connectivity between both cities during this summer season.

Paul Verhagen, SVP International Sales of Aeromexico said, “Since we began our collaboration agreement, Aeromexico and Delta determined to provide our clients with the broadest connectivity across our route network with exceptional full travel services. Thus, we offer more options during the peak season such as the Monterrey-Orlando route that we are announcing today to ensure that our customers have access to the services they need when traveling for business or leisure.”

Meanwhile, Juan Sabines, Consul of Mexico in Orlando, spoke of the work both carriers do to facilitate passenger travel between both cities that offer a host of attractions. “Both Monterrey and Orlando are very important tourist destinations for Mexico and the United States, so this flight will contribute to strengthening exchange between our countries.”

On the other hand, Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz celebrated the fact that the additional flight offerings will ensure the potential growth of tourism and benefits to the economy of both cities during this summer season. “We were pleased to hear that Aeromexico and Delta will offer enhanced connectivity between Orlando and Monterrey during this summer season that will undoubtedly translate into a more dynamic tourist exchange and a positive impact on the economy of both cities.”

Lastly, Iván Martínez Vega, Director for Florida and the Caribbean for the Mexico Tourism Board said, “The expansion of our nation’s connectivity is always great news because it provides the opportunity for an increasing number of people to visit Mexico to enjoy the wonders that our country has to offer. It also represents an opportunity for an increasing number of Mexicans to enjoy the cultural and natural wealth of other nations. This new route will expand the exchange of travelers between two countries that are not only neighbors but also partners and friends.”
