This summer, American Airlines continues to expand its presence in Mexico by inaugurating new flights to Veracruz, the airline’s 28th destination in the country. With this new service, the airline will offer 110 peak-day flights to Mexico, the most of any U.S. carrier.
The airline plans to launch service to Veracruz International Airport on June 12, 2024, connecting daily to Dallas-Fort Worth. Flights will be operated in Embraer 175 aircraft, with capacity for 76 passengers.
“We are excited to launch our 28th destination in Mexico, connecting Veracruz to our largest U.S. hub, Dallas-Fort Worth, where customers can access more than 230 destinations around the world,” said José María Giraldo, Chief Operating Officer for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. “Our commitment to Mexico is strong and we are proud to strengthen our footprint in the country, offering more connectivity and travel options for customers than any other U.S. airline.”
