Aeromexico is to significantly increase frequencies on five key routes for summer 2017.
The Mexican carrier will raise the number of flights from Mexico to Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Shanghai and Santiago.
This increase represents almost 40 per cent of its current seat capacity on these five routes – where it operates a B787 Dreamliner aircraft.
Aeromexico will offer daily flights from Mexico City to Amsterdam and Heathrow – increasing from three and six flights a week respectively. It will also increase capacity to Madrid by 15 per cent, giving a total of 12 flights a week.
The airline is also planning to increase its service to Asia by more than 65 per cent, which gives Shanghai five flights per week. In South America, a daily service to Santiago, Chile, will also be added to the current service of five flights per week.
Aeromexico’s Chief Revenue Officer, Anko van der Werff said, “This significant increase in flight frequencies to our core global markets reflects Aeromexico’s commitment to continue expanding its network of destinations by offering increased seat capacity to our customers in Mexico and across the globe.
“These actions are due to the growth of our fleet by the number of wide-body aircraft we will receive during the rest of this year and in the first half of 2017, to offer customers increased connectivity options to more than 80 of our destinations.”
