Aeromexico returns to Quito with four weekly flights
Aeromexico resumed its flights between Mexico City and Quito with the arrival last night of its Boeing 737 MAX 8, which will operate four weekly flights. The return flight departed this morning at 10:30 a.m., following a brief ceremony attended by Ramón Miró, President and CEO of Quiport, and Pepe Zapata, Vice President of Sales for North and Latin America at Aeromexico.
In this way, Quito’s airport regains one of its most popular direct flights, which, in addition to offering a nonstop travel option to Mexico City, provides the opportunity for efficient connections to multiple destinations in North America, Europe, and Asia. Through Aeroméxico’s domestic network, passengers can access cities such as Monterrey, Guadalajara, Cancún, Mérida, Querétaro, Huatulco, and Oaxaca, as well as international destinations like Montreal, Toronto, Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and Seoul.
Quiport’s president and CEO, Ramón Miró, emphasized the great importance of Aeroméxico’s presence at Quito’s Mariscal Sucre Airport. “Without a doubt, the operation of a regional and global giant like Aeroméxico in Quito allows us to expand the connectivity network to and from our airport through a reliable operator that offers not only a vast network of connections but also a great onboard experience for its passengers,” he said.
“At Aeromexico we continue working to expand our connectivity network to the
key destinations around the world, and in this sense, we are excited to land again in
Quito, thus reactivating the air bridge with Ecuador. With this service, Aeroméxico now has eight permanent routes and one seasonal route in South America, providing passengers in the region with an efficient connectivity option to more than 40 destinations in Mexico, 25 in the United States, 3 in Canada, 6 in Europe, and 2 in Asia.” Pepe Zapata, Vice President of Sales for North and Latin America at Aeromexico, commented.
The flights will operate on the following schedule:
During the event, Acting Vice Minister of Tourism María José Reshuan stated: “The inauguration of the direct flight between Quito and Mexico City not only brings our countries geographically closer, but also opens new opportunities to boost tourism, which is the fundamental pillar of our growing economy. Furthermore, it creates new opportunities to strengthen the cultural ties that bind us and have always bound us. In a constantly evolving global context, air connectivity is becoming a strategic factor for development.”
For his part, Etzon Romo, Secretary of Productive Economic Development, mentioned: “For us, it is fundamental to connect with the entire global commercial system, because we can be connected from Mexico, not only to the cities in the interior of that country, but also to Europe and Asia, and with this we can generate better productivity conditions for our industry, which is the one that generates employment for the inhabitants of the Metropolitan District of Quito.”
