As SkyTeam partners, frequent flyers can earn miles on either airline when flying either Delta or Aeromexico, as well. The new agreement has proved to be a success as the carriers increased transborder seat capacity in 2017 by 10 percent compared to previous years.

In addition to the JCA, Delta also has a 49 percent equity stake in the Mexican flag carrier.Īs a result of the JCA, both airlines share the costs and profits that flights such as this one create. The agreement allows the two carriers to work together in creating routes and pricing for flights between the U.S. This new flight was created thanks to the Joint Commercial Agreement (JCA) that Delta and Aeromexico placed into effect in 2017. In 2017, Leon served 1.9 million passengers total and currently offers flights to seven U.S. The flight will start just two months after Aeromexico resumes its flights between Detroit and Monterrey. Thanks to the connectivity we will offer, commerce between the two cities will be more dynamic, undoubtedly generating greater economic growth for both destinations.” The daily roundtrip flights between the Motor City and the Central Mexican city of Leon will be operated by one of Aeromexico Connect’s 46 Embraer 190 aircraft, with 99 seats including 11 in business class.Īnko van der Werff, Aeromexico’s Chief Revenue Officer, said: “We are sure that this flight will have a positive impact, especially in the automotive sector, since both Leon and Detroit are important drivers of this industry. Aeromexico will begin nonstop flights between Leon (BJX) and Detroit (DTW) from April 30, in cooperation with its SkyTeam alliance partner Delta Air Lines.
