Aeromexico is the flag carrier of Mexico and one of the oldest airlines in North America, founded in 1934. Headquartered in Mexico City at Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX), Aeromexico operates over 600 daily flights connecting travelers across three continents to 90+ destinations.

As a founding member of SkyTeam (established in 2000), Aeromexico provides global connectivity through 18 partner airlines. The airline has a strategic partnership with Delta Air Lines, which holds a 20% ownership stake.
