Aeroméxico and Cross Border Xpress (CBX) announce investment to improve the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego. This is one of Aeroméxico’s latest efforts to expand and improve passenger experience by using more efficient travel methods.

Aeroméxico and CBX highlighted their joint mission to create a faster, more efficient border crossing process between Mexico and the US. “To make the experience faster and more comfortable of passengers traveling between US-Mexico border through CBX, starting in November Aeroméxico will integrate the flight to Tijuana and the CBX pass using the IATA code TJX.

Through its alliance with CBX, Aeroméxico aims to improve its passenger’s experience. “We want our clients to have a better travel experience. That is why we are investing in alliance with CBX so that the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego is increasingly agile and comfortable, for our clients who travel in the more than four hundred flights that we have each month to and from Mexico City and Tijuana,” said Andres Castañeda, Executive Digital Vice President and Customer Experience of Aeroméxico.
