Airline expects to have 171 aircraft by the end of 2026

Aeromexico continues to broaden its international presence, with the airline reporting during Mexico’s annual tourism show of Tianguis that it has been adding routes to points within the United States and cities in Latin America as well.

The carrier told those attending the recent show in Acapulco that 2025 saw it launch routes from Mexico City to Cartagena, Cali, Panama City and Punta Cana, while new American routes are serving Phoenix and Philadelphia.

The growth is continuing this year, with Aeromexico having started service to Tegucigalpa, Quito and Barcelona in recent months. As well, it is now linking the interior Mexican city of Monterrey with Paris and upcoming routes include Monterrey-New York and Guadalajara-Seattle, further consolidating what the airline says is an “increasingly robust and competitive network.” 

The airline — which labelled itself “one of the most relevant players in” Mexican tourism —  cited the “sustained growth” of its fleet over the past seven years, expecting to have 171 aircraft by the end of 2026, a 37% increase compared to 2019. That growth has enabled the company to expand operations in strategic markets and continue improving operational efficiency.

Aeromexico officials also pointed to a number of other developments, including the Premier One check-in area at Terminal 2 of Mexico City International Airport having been renovated; the progress in onboard connectivity through high-speed Wi-Fi on its Embraer 190 fleet, and the strengthening of its premium experience.

The airline also praised its operational leadership after being recognized for the second consecutive year as the world’s most punctual global airline, according to Cirium’s 2025 OnTime Performance Review, and is maintaining this trend so far this year, ranking first in January and February, and second in March.

On the digital front, Aeromexico reported that its new app has surpassed 4.5 million downloads and continues to incorporate tools that provide greater autonomy to customers, such as two-step check-in, document scanning, itinerary management, add-on selection, and Aeromexico Rewards points tracking. Aeromexico also highlighted the evolution of its Aeromexico Rewards loyalty program. Currently, 38% of the airline’s passengers are enrolled in the program, representing an increase of 10 percentage points compared to the previous year.

There are now 14.4 million members and an active base of 2 million customers. Active members grew by 13%, while redemption revenue increased by 22% year-over-year, reflecting the program’s growing relevance in customer relationships. As part of this evolution, in January Aeromexico launched a native experience for purchasing flights with points within its main booking flow, and to date, 28% of customers redeeming points already do so through the app. With these advancements, Aeromexico continues to strengthen a strategy focused on network growth, product innovation, and the evolution of the travel experience.  

The company also announced the implementation of its Stopover strategy in Mexico City, an alternative that allows international passengers to visit two destinations in a single trip under certain fare conditions.
