CALGARY — Aeromexico has announced new nonstop service out of Calgary to Mexico City, with daily flights from the new International Terminal at YYC starting June 1, 2017.

“This service connects Calgary with Mexico’s primary business centre and creates additional opportunities for companies in Alberta involved in a number of industries important to both this province and Mexico, notably the agrifood and energy sectors,” said Garth Atkinson, President & CEO of The Calgary Airport Authority. “Through Aeromexico’s extensive network in Central and South America, Alberta businesses also gain enhanced access to those markets.”

Aeromexico’s Chief Revenue Officer Anko van Der Werff said Calgary is an important destination for Aeromexico “as it will allow us to offer our customers the only nonstop flight available from Mexico City, providing customers with more choices for travel from Mexico, Central and South America to Canada, in addition to our flights to Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.”

Aeromexico will operate its Boeing 737-800 aircraft, seating 160 passengers and including Aeromexico’s business class. The flight will arrive in Calgary at 10:30 p.m. and depart for Mexico City at 11:30 p.m.
