The airline said,
“That is Aeromexico’s second Asian destination, after resuming flights to Tokyo in March 2023. The resumption of the path to Seoul doubles the airline’s offering within the region and reinforces its commitment to its passengers to attach the 2 markets, for each business and pleasure.”
