American Airlines<\/strong> is celebrating 80 years of service to Mexico this month. In 1942, the airline launched service from Dallas to Mexico City with a Douglas DC-3 aircraft, first stopping in Monterrey to refuel. With this flight, Mexico became the airline\u2019s second international destination, following the launch of Toronto, Canada, in 1941.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the leading U.S. airline in Mexico, we are proud to celebrate 80 years of connecting our two countries, offering our customers an unbeatable network and the highest level of service,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 A. Freig, Vice President of International. \u201cIt\u2019s important we recognize and thank our Mexico-based team members for their outstanding work leading American\u2019s largest international operation during a year of record growth for us in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico is American\u2019s largest international destination, where the airline operates more than 500 weekly flights to 27 cities: Acapulco, Aguascalientes, Canc\u00fan, Chihuahua, Mexico City, Cozumel, Culiacan, Durango, Guadalajara, Hermosillo, Huatulco, La Paz, Le\u00f3n, Loreto, Mazatl\u00e1n, M\u00e9rida, Monterrey, Morelia, Oaxaca, Puerto Vallarta, Quer\u00e9taro, San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo, San Luis Potosi, Torreon, Zacatecas, as well as seasonal service to Zihuatanejo and Manzanillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American has more than 1,100 team members based in Mexico, the largest number of employees outside of the United States. The operation includes two Reservations offices in Mexico City and Monterrey, four Ticket Sales Centers in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and Le\u00f3n, and an Admirals Club at Benito Ju\u00e1rez International Airport in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2022: A banner year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, American has had record growth in Mexico with a more than 40% increase in capacity compared to 2019. In addition to operating more strategic routes with larger aircraft, the airline has also launched new flying, such as Austin to Cozumel, and, beginning in November, new service from Mexico City and Monterrey to New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
