New Orleans lands nonstop flights to Mexico City

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is adding nonstop service to Mexico City starting June 2027, with Aeromexico launching four flights per week year-round. The airport says demand from Mexico City currently exceeds demand in the other direction, and officials view the route as important for sustaining future international connectivity. “International routes are closely watched…so want more? Want to keep it? We have to support it,” airport director Kevin Dolliole said Monday. Mayor Helena Moreno noted Aeromexico previously served the city 16 years ago before ending service. Southwest and Breeze already fly seasonally to Cancun and are limited on Mexico options.
