Aeroméxico to Launch Direct Flights Between San Juan and Mexico City in June 2027

Aeroméxico will resume direct service between San Juan and Mexico City in June 2027, ending more than two decades without nonstop flights between Puerto Rico and the Mexican capital. Governor Jenniffer González Colón and the Puerto Rico Tourism Company announced the route on Saturday, November 7, and the airline opened ticket sales on Monday, November 9.

What was announced

• Four weekly nonstop flights between Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) and Mexico City International Airport (MEX), beginning in June 2027.
• More than 34,500 additional seats per year added to Puerto Rico's air capacity.
• An estimated $13.5 million annual economic impact for the island.
• The service returns a connection that has been absent for more than 20 years.

" We have worked to recover this important air connection with Mexico City and today we take a significant step to make it a reality," Governor González Colón said, according to Primera Hora.

Why it matters for business aviation

New scheduled international lift at SJU strengthens the case for corporate operators flying between the Caribbean and Mexico, and it widens the feeder network around San Juan for flight departments whose passengers connect onward. Aeroméxico is a SkyTeam member, and its senior vice president of global sales, Giancarlo Mulinelli, said the route strengthens the airline's network through its joint venture with Delta Air Lines.

For Puerto Rico's business aviation community, the practical effect is more connectivity into Mexico's industrial and energy centers at a time when Act 60 investment and mainland-to-island corporate traffic are both growing.

What is still unknown

The announcement did not specify the aircraft type assigned to the route, departure and arrival times, the exact June start date, or whether the service will operate year-round or seasonally.
