Aeroméxico has announced that as of December 10 it will operate six frequencies per week between the international airport of Mexico City and Managua.
From a statement posted on Aeromexico.com:
Mexico City, September 11 2014.- Aeromexico, Mexico's largest airline, announced that from December 10, it will connect Mexico City with Mangua, Nicaragua, six days a week.
Thank you Interjet and Aeromexico for making it possible to buy a ticket without feeling like you have been robbed at gunpoint.
As was the case in other Central American countries with the opening of flights operated by companies outside of the isthmus, in Costa Rica, airline ticket prices for flights from San Jose to Mexico City have fallen by 60%.
The airlines have agreed to implement code-shared flights.
Taca-Avianca and Aeromexico have agreed to operate a code share which will benefit the Colombia-Mexico market from the first half of 2012, and for the second half of the year, Taca and Aeromexico will code-share, and this will include routes in the Central American-Mexico market as well as South American-Mexico routes, thus giving passengers a greater choice of service, more frequent flights and more travel alternatives in the region.
Being the sole operator of the Guatemala - Mexico route, TACA was able to charge more than $700 a ticket. Now that Aeromexico and Interjet have arrived, prices have fallen to less than half that price.
Last week the Mexican low-cost airline Interjet announced two daily flights between Guatemala City and Mexico City from July, with rates from $249 roundtrip including taxes.
The Civil Aviation Authority approved 17 new international air routes, many to Central America and the Caribbean.
These include Avianca’s requests to fly to Tegucigalpa, San Salvador, Montreal, Frankfurt, Toronto, Guatemala, Madrid, and La Habana. Most of these will depart from Bogotá and make a stop in Panama with 2, 3 or 7 weekly frequencies respectively.
Mexican company, Aeromexico, announced that it will suspend operations in Nicaragua starting February next year.
A source at the International Airport Administration Company (EAAI) in Managua said to Acan-Efe that the airline will suspend its operations in February of next year and did not given a reason for the action.
The commercial manager of Aeromexico for Nicaragua, Jorge Sanchez, said to the La Prensa daily in Managua that they will issue an official release today in Mexico announcing the suspension of operation in Nicaragua.
