Aeromexico commemorates its 90th anniversary with a special event
As part of the celebration of its 90th anniversary, Grupo Aeromexico held a commemorative event at the Hangar Oriente, highlighting the company’s evolution since its first flight in September 1934, as well as the current state of the company, which has set its purpose to elevate the journey towards an extraordinary experience, maintaining its leadership as Mexico’s global airline.
The event was led by Andres Conesa, CEO of the airline, who highlighted: “I want to express my deep gratitude to the more than 16 thousand employees who make up the Aeromexico family. Their commitment, effort, and dedication are the engine that drives our beloved airline to fly higher. I would also like to thank all our partners, who have been a fundamental part of building this history throughout these nine decades. And especially to our customers, who are the cornerstone of our ability to celebrate our first 90 years in the skies.
The event at the hangar was an experience of images, history, and announcements with a spectacular stage adorned with the presence of three aircraft: the legendary Stinson SR, which was Aeromexico’s first plane and still preserved in a way that it remains airworthy today, Kukulcan, a Boeing 737 MAX-9 with a fuselage designed by Edgar Flores “Saner”, which refers to the God of the Mayan culture, and also incorporates other iconic elements of Mexico like flowers, birds and endemic species, and a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with the new image that the airline´s entire fleet will adopt.
