On July 1st, 2024, Aeromexico will start daily nonstop service between Mexico City International Airport (MEX) and Tampa International Airport (TPA), Florida. The route will be served by Embraer 190 aircraft with 99 seats, including 11 in Aeromexico’s premium cabin, Clase Premier. The new service will also offer seamless connections via Mexico City to and from Aeromexico´s extensive domestic network.
Tampa will become Aeromexico´s 23rd city served in the United States, joining Atlanta, Boston, McAllen, Raleigh/Durham and Washington as U.S. cities opening in 2024 as part of a significant expansion in Mexico´s largest air service market. In Florida, Tampa will become Aeromexico´s third city, complementing existing service from Miami and Orlando. Among these three Florida airports, there will be up to 400 monthly arrivals and departures representing a capacity of 75,000 monthly seats.
This new service is made possible by Aeromexico-Delta alliance. Tickets are now available through the digital channels of both airlines. Flights from Mexico City to Tampa depart at 10:00 AM local time and arrive at 3:20 PM. Tampa is on Eastern Time and one hour ahead of Mexico City. Flights from Tampa to Mexico City depart at 4:35 PM and arrive at 6:14 PM.
“It’s a big day for TPA when we get to announce both a new airline and a new route that connects Tampa Bay with the largest metropolitan area in North America,” Joe Lopano, Tampa International Airport CEO, said. “We’re proud to welcome Aeromexico to Tampa International Airport with this service to Mexico City and look forward to helping the strong cultural and business ties between our two regions continue to grow.”
Tampa is part of the second largest metropolitan area in Florida along with St. Petersburg. This region has a wide variety of attractions, including Busch Gardens, The Florida Aquarium, and ZooTampa at Lowry Park, as well as the beautiful beaches of St. Pete and Clearwater on the Gulf Coast.
Since 2017, Aeromexico-Delta Alliance has facilitated the connectivity of more than 45 million passengers between Mexico and the United States, taking advantage of improved services such as check-in through the SkyTeam’s Digital Spine technology, free onboard messaging (on selected aircraft) and standardized baggage policies, among other benefits.
