“Calgary is a very 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,” said
Aeromexico’s Chief Revenue Officer Anko van der Werff.
“Canada is Mexico’s third largest trading partner, and this destination promotes the
oil, gas and mining industries, as well as health services and education so the airline
will continue to offer increased connectivity options for its passengers,” added the
executive.
“Bienvenido a Alberta! This new direct flight connecting Calgary to Mexico City is
fantastic news. Not only will the flights bring more visitors between Mexico and the
province of Alberta, but they will also help boost tourism, investment, trade and
cultural opportunities,” said the Honourable Ricardo Miranda, Minister of Culture
and Tourism for the province of Alberta.
Tourism from Mexico to Canada has grown 65.4% over the last six years, and this
figure is expected to grow even more after Canada recently lifted the visa
requirement on Mexico.
“This new YYC-Mexico City non-stop service will enhance opportunities with an
important two-way travel and trade market and provide great connection
opportunities from YYC to countries throughout Central and South America,” said
Garth Atkinson, President & CEO of The Calgary Airport Authority.
Aeromexico’s new service offers Calgary customers connect to beaches in Mexico,
such as Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel, Huatulco, Los Cabos and Ixtapa,
business cities such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mérida, León and Aguascalientes,
Mexican Gulf cities such as Villahermosa, Veracruz, Ciudad del Carmen and
Tampico, and countries in Central and South America such as Guatemala, Costa
Rica, Peru, Colombia. The carrier also strengthens its offer to connect to 20
destinations in Canada and the United States thanks to its codeshare partnership
with Canadian airline WestJet.
