Aeroméxico Makes Monterrey-Paris Route Permanent

Aeroméxico announced it will transition its flight service between Monterrey International Airport and Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport from a seasonal offering into a permanent, year-round route. The decision follows higher-than-expected passenger demand since the service launched in April 2026.

The route, originally scheduled to operate for a six-month period concluding in October, will maintain its current frequency of three weekly flights. Operations will continue utilizing Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. According to a corporate statement, the airline has recorded sustained traffic growth driven by both corporate and leisure travelers.

"The customer response to this route has exceeded our expectations. With this extension, we will continue to drive commercial exchange and tourism promotion between northern Mexico and France, providing passengers with more opportunities to connect with their favorite destinations, while simultaneously strengthening our presence on the Old Continent," said Giancarlo Mulinelli, Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Aeroméxico.

Aeroméxico confirmed that it will adjust the flight itinerary for the upcoming winter season. Under the revised schedule, flights departing Monterrey to Paris are scheduled for Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 18:05 hours, arriving at Charles de Gaulle Airport at 11:45 hours the following day. Return flights from Paris to Monterrey are scheduled to depart on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 14:00 hours, arriving in Monterrey at 19:35 hours the same day.

The airline noted that the route relies on its established codeshare network with regional partner airlines, allowing passengers arriving in Paris to access connecting flights to alternative European destinations. The permanent service adds to Aeroméxico’s existing European operations from the regulatory hub of Monterrey, which currently includes a direct route to Madrid, Spain. The service also functions as a complement to the carrier's primary operations between Mexico City International Airport (AICM) and Paris.

Data from the Migratory Policy Unit of the Mexican Ministry of the Interior (SEGOB) indicates an upward trend in broader bilateral travel market indicators. Between January and May, air arrivals of international travelers to Mexico reached 124,985 individuals, marking a 13.5% increase compared to the same five-month period in the prior year. During this timeframe, France ranked as the sixth-largest source country for international tourist arrivals to Mexico.
