PHL welcomes Aeroméxico to Philadelphia

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) has announced the addition of Aeroméxico to its airline partners. Beginning June 5, Aeroméxico will offer year-round daily nonstop service between Mexico City and Philadelphia.

“This is exciting news for the Philadelphia region and continues to expand our global connectivity. In addition to connecting Philadelphia’s business, family and leisure travelers to the second largest city in the Western Hemisphere, it also unites us with another top destination for culture, history and cuisine,” said PHL CEO Atif Saeed.

“Prior to this announcement, anyone needing to travel to Mexico City had to start their journey at another airport or have a layover along the way. Thanks to Aeroméxico, our guests can fly non-stop from their home airport -- PHL.”

Air traffic from PHL to destinations in Mexico has grown 8.3 percent annually since 2014 and 50 percent since the pandemic. There are more than 187,000 people of Mexican ancestry in the Philadelphia region.

The new Aeroméxico service will be the first time an airline has provided nonstop flights to Mexico City from PHL since January 2019.

“We started this year with very good news, as this new route that will connect Philadelphia with Mexico City will strengthen our position and recent success in the Northeastern US with the addition of Boston, Newark, and Washington D.C in 2024,” said Jose Zapata, Vice President of Sales for the United States, Canada, and Latin America.
