Aeromexico

Aerovías de México SA de CV, legally incorporated as Aeromexico, is the nation’s flag carrier and today, operates an extensive domestic and international network to destinations throughout North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. 

The airline was established as Aeronaves de Mexico in 1934. 

The carrier is primarily based at Mexico City Juarez International Airport, with secondary hubs at Guadalajara Miguel Hidal Airport, Monterrey Escobedo International Airport and Hermosillo Pesqueira Garcia Airport. The carrier forms part of Grupo Aeroméxico, along with regional airline; Aeromexico Connect and is listed on Mexico's BMV, under the ticker (AEROMEX).

 Aeromexico operating 600 scheduled passenger flights per day, with service to 43 destinations in Mexico and 45 international destinations from Mexico. 

Since the inception of Aeromexico, two driving forces have remained service and safety. 

Aeromexico's slogan is "Mexico's Global Airline" (Spanish: La linea que nos une).

Aeromexico is a founding member of the SkyTeam Alliance and has a strengthened a partnership with Delta Air Lines in order to provide the highest level of service and connectivity to passengers. In the first year of the Delta - Aeromexico joint venture (June 2017–June 2018) the companies worked to enhance connectivity between Mexico and the U.S., and launched new Aeroméxico or Delta flights, or additional frequencies, on Los Angeles-Cabo San Lucas; New York JFK-Cancun; Detroit-León; Atlanta-Mérida; Seattle-Mexico City; Atlanta-Querétaro; Atlanta-León; Portland-Mexico City; Los Angeles-Leon; Atlanta-Guadalajara; and Guadalajara-Salt Lake City. 

The fleet exists in perpetual renovation which means greater efficiency and the safest flying experience around. 

The Aeromexico fleet includes the most modern Boeing 787 and 737 jet airliners and next-generation Embraer 170 and 190 models. Aeromexico added 12 new aircraft to fleet Jul-20-2021.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic deeply affected the global aviation industry, including Aeromexico. Aeromexico's stock dropped during first half of 2020 and on June 30, Aeroméxico voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States. However, day-to-day operations continued as the company begins a financial overhaul.

On July 1, 2021, shareholder Delta Airlines has announced it would purchase $185 million of the Mexican airline's Chapter 11 debt and fees of Apollo’s Tranche 2 Commitments under the Loan Agreement.

On June 2021, Aeromexico trialed IATA Travel Pass.

Aeromexico holds 3-Star Airline status from Skytrax: “Product standards have improved as new aircraft join the fleet. Long haul business class product on Boeing 787-9 is quite good. Onboard catering and IFE are fair, and cabin WiFi is available on some aircraft. Airport service needs improvement at MEX, and cabin service is rather outdated, lacking on-demand options, and staff attitudes can be perfunctory. Potential to meet 4-Star if further change is made.”
