AeroMexico New Orleans Mexico City Flights
Mexico Business Travel - AeroMexico, Mexico's largest airline, will launch new flight service from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport this morning. Mayor Ray Nagin, AeroMexico executives, and business and civic leaders are expected to be on hand at a 5 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new service.
The airline will offer nonstop flights to Mexico City from New Orleans six days a week. The flights will continue from Mexico City to San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
With the debut of today's service, AeroMexico becomes the first foreign airline to operate out of New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. Before the storm, the New Orleans airport had nonstop international flights to Canada and Central America through Air Canada and Grupo Taca, respectively. But those services did not return after Katrina, leaving the city with no international flights.
AeroMexico's new service is expected to improve tourism and commerce between Louisiana and Mexico. It could also usher in new opportunities for medically related travel.
