Aeroméxico Adds Monterrey–Paris Nonstop Flights in 2026

Aeroméxico announced it will launch a new nonstop route between Monterrey and Paris on April 13, 2026, expanding its long-haul network from northern Mexico and increasing capacity to its European operations. The service will operate three times per week using Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft and will offer more than 1,500 seats per week, according to the airline.

The Monterrey–Paris service will become the fourth international destination outside the Americas served from Monterrey International Airport and Aeroméxico’s second direct connection to Europe from the city, complementing the existing Monterrey–Madrid route. The airline said the new service forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen international connectivity from regional hubs.

“The Monterrey–Paris route marks a decisive step in Aeroméxico’s international expansion from Nuevo León,” said Pasquale Speranza, Aeroméxico’s vice president of sales for Mexico. “We thank the government of Nuevo Leon, OMA and the French authorities. With their support, we are confident this route will be successful from day one.”

The new route will launch just weeks after Aeroméxico’s planned start of service between Mexico City and Barcelona on March 26, 2026. Together, the Monterrey–Paris and Mexico City–Barcelona routes will increase Aeroméxico’s capacity to Europe by 11%, the airline said.

OMA, the operator of Monterrey International Airport, said the new connection reinforces the airport’s role in international aviation. “The launch of the new direct Monterrey–Paris route with Aeroméxico is a key milestone for Monterrey International Airport,” said Ricardo Dueñas, chief executive officer, OMA. “This is our second direct connection to Europe, complementing the Madrid route, and it strengthens Monterrey’s position as a strategic hub connecting major global markets.”

According to OMA, Monterrey currently serves more than 25 international routes and over 60 total destinations. The airport connects Nuevo León with key markets including Madrid, Seoul and Tokyo, supporting both business and tourism travel.

State and international officials highlighted the economic and tourism impact of the new route. Nuevo León Tourism Secretary Maricarmen Martínez Villarreal and Economy Secretary Betsabé Rocha Nieto attended the announcement, alongside Pierre Raynaud, France’s consul general in Monterrey; Melani Belin, director of Atout France; and Abelardo Muñoz, OMA’s director of traffic development.

Aeroméxico said the Boeing 787 aircraft assigned to the route will enhance operational efficiency on the transatlantic sector while aligning with the airline’s long-haul fleet strategy. The carrier did not disclose projected load factors or revenue expectations but said the service is designed to meet growing demand between northern Mexico and Europe.
