Aeromexico to Start Mexico City-Belize Nonstop Service

Aeromexico, Mexico’s global airline, is now the first international air carrier to offer a direct nonstop flight service from Mexico City to Belize.

The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) and senior officials from the airline held a brief ceremony on Saturday, November 17th to mark the inaugural flight to Belize, which will be available on Saturday and Sundays until April 28th, 2019.

After more than 11 years serving the region, Aeromexico has now become the only airline in Mexico to have a presence in all Central American countries including Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, and Belize. This is also the first time that there has ever been an air connection between Belize and Mexico.

The new route is operated with Embraer 190 airplanes with 99 passenger seats, including 11 in Premier Class, Aeromexico’s Business Class cabin.

Belize is quickly becoming a popular destination for Mexican travelers. Available statistics reveal that there were 9,060 visitors from Mexico in 2017 representing an increase of 51.5% over 5,982 in 2016 and these figures are expected to soar even higher with the new direct service.

Furthermore, the new flight will provide an alternative route for travelers from the UK, France, the Netherlands and many other parts of Europe wishing to access Belize, and the wider Central American region, strengthening Mexico D.F. as a key regional hub.

The BTB views the inaugural flight as a resounding reassertion that Belize continues to be a growing and viable Curious Place and popular vacation destination in Central America and the Caribbean.

Likewise, it is emblematic of the effective and remarkably successful efforts of our local tourism and aviation industries that continue to build Belize’s airlift into the envy of our regional competitors.
