AeroMexico operates a sizable short-to-medium haul, single-aisle fleet of Boeing 737-700s and Boeing 737-800s. The carrier has more than 70 737NGs in service and on order
According to AeroMexico, the new service will connect its flights from cities in Mexico such as Culiacan, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puerto Vallarta, Reynosa and San Luis Potosi to Panama City, via the carrier’s hub at Benito Juárez Internacional’s Terminal 2.
“We are very proud to be able to add Panama to our network of national and international connectivity, considering that it is a country with one of the most stable economies in the Americas, offering high rates of internal and external investment, solid tourism demand, and a highly developed logistics industry,” says Anko van der Werff, AeroMexico’s executive director of revenues.
The airline’s parent company, Grupo Aeromexico, S.A.B. de C.V., owns various subsidiaries which operate commercial services in Mexico, and operate AeroMexico’s frequent-flyer program.
