Delta Launches Biggest Mexican Expansion Plan in History
Delta Air Lines are launching the largest expansion into Mexico in the company´s history.
Subject to Mexican government approvals, Delta plans to offer customers flights on 12 new nonstop routes between the United States and Mexico by June, including the airline´s first-ever service to Merida.
Delta has received U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) approval to serve the 12 new routes, which are now available for sale to customers.
“Delta is continuing its forward momentum with dynamic growth into Mexico,” said James Sarvis, Delta´s director for Latin America and the Caribbean. “In addition to offering the second-most destinations to Central and South America as well as operating the second-largest Southeastern gateway to the Caribbean from our Atlanta hub, we will soon provide our customers with even more access to some of the most in-demand leisure locations in Mexico.”
Delta´s ongoing southward expansion in 2006 builds on flights already started to Mexico during 2005.
In December, Delta began new service between Atlanta and Puerto Vallarta, added another flight each between Atlanta and Guadalajara (two daily) and Mexico City (three daily), and added a third flight that will operate seasonally between Atlanta and Monterrey.
