Mexican and US authorities have granted Aeromexico the necessary authorisations to initiate direct flights from Felipe Angeles International Airport (AIFA) to George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas.
This route will commence operations on May 1, 2023, with one daily flight on Embraer 190 aircraft along with the flights already scheduled to Houston from the Mexico City International Airport (AICM).
This will be the ninth destination Aeromexico serves from AIFA, and the first route to connect this airport with the United States.
After a regulatory assessment and an evaluation of current conditions, US and Mexican authorities approved this route considering that AIFA also serves the metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico.
Aeromexico states that it is working closely with the Mexican aviation authorities to recover Category 1 aviation status under the International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) program of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in compliance with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN).
Aeromexico has also reaffirmed its commitment to expand its network between Mexico and the United States.
