Aeroméxico Lands 3-Year Official Airline Deal With NFL Mexico

Aeroméxico and NFL Mexico have finalized a three-season strategic partnership designating the carrier as the official airline sponsor of the National Football League in Mexico. The agreement grants Aeroméxico category exclusivity within the country’s airline sector and includes custom NFL livery decorated across the fuselage of an aircraft.

The official announcement was made at Hangar Aeroméxico during a signing ceremony led by Andres Castañeda, Executive Vice President of Digital and Customer Experience, Aeroméxico and Arturo Olive, General Director, NFL Mexico. NFL Hall of Fame legend Emmitt Smith also attended the ceremony to accompany the official display of the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The commercial alliance aims to engage an estimated fanbase of 40 million American football enthusiasts across Mexico while leveraging Aeroméxico's existing route network to key US markets. Aeroméxico operates direct connectivity to cities hosting 21 of the 32 NFL franchises, including destinations such as Dallas-Fort Worth (Dallas Cowboys), Miami (Miami Dolphins), and Boston/New England (New England Patriots).

As part of the agreement, the organizations are launching a comprehensive program of experiences and benefits tailored for corporate clients, Aeroméxico Rewards loyalty members, and local NFL fans. Program perks include access to regular-season games, international games, the Super Bowl, and the upcoming NFL Mexico City Game. Select experiential rewards will be redeemable through points in the Aeroméxico Rewards loyalty program.

"At Aeroméxico, we are convinced that the travel experience can connect our customers with what they are most passionate about. Becoming the official airline allows us to create memorable moments for travelers, Aeroméxico Rewards members, and fans. This partnership represents a new way of being close to our customers, both on and off the plane," said Castañeda.

The multi-year arrangement aligns with the kickoff of the 2026 NFL season and the planned return of regular-season games to the Mexican capital.

"The arrival of Aeroméxico as the first official airline sponsor of the NFL in Mexico marks a very important moment for our organization. We share the vision of connecting people through extraordinary experiences, and we are convinced that this partnership will strengthen the bond we have with millions of fans in the country, just as we begin the 2026 season and prepare to press unpause and resume hosting NFL games in Mexico City. We are very proud to build this new chapter alongside such a relevant partner for NFL Mexico as Aeroméxico," said Olive.
