Mexican flag carrier Aeromexico has made some changes to its domestic schedule, permanently removing flights between Monterrey International Airport (MTY) and Guadalajara International (GDL) for the rest of the 12 months, Cirium data shows. On Monday, Aeromexico also announced it was of the highest 3 most fuel-efficient airlines globally after receiving 20 Boeing 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner jets in 2022.
Scheduling changes
In March, Aeromexico stopped flying the route between Monterrey and Guadalajara, two of the three largest cities within the country. Without citing any reason, the legacy carrier left the market wherein it offered about 74 weekly flights.

Nonetheless, Aeromexico’s presence on this route was half of what Viva Aerobus and Volaris, two ultra-low-cost carriers, offered. As of June 2023, Viva Aerobus flies 150 monthly services between these two cities and Volaris 120 monthly flights. They provide 110,676 seats.
This week, Aeromexico permanently scrapped the flights between Monterrey and Guadalajara for the subsequent 12 months, in accordance with data from Cirium. This points out to Aeromexico leaving the city-to-city pair to the 2 ultra-low-cost carriers. Aeromexico’s strength has been operating from Mexico City and Felipe Angeles International Airport (MEX and NLU). Nonetheless, note that schedules are subject to alter, and the carrier could reinstate them in the long run.
