Mexico Enhances Caribbean Access with Aeromexico’s New Daily Nonstop Route from Mexico City to Punta Cana, Offering Ten Thousand New Seats Monthly, Boosting Travel Sector.
On June 29th, Aeromexico launched a major new route, connecting Mexico City to the Dominican Republic, specifically to Punta Cana, with daily nonstop flights.
The service, which began on Thursday, marks a significant expansion in the airline’s Caribbean network. Utilizing Boeing 737 aircraft, the route will operate daily throughout the summer, offering an additional 10,000 seats per month. This new service provides greater access for travelers from over 40 cities across Mexico to the Dominican Republic’s top tourist destination, Punta Cana.
The introduction of the Mexico City–Punta Cana route is part of Aeromexico’s broader strategy to expand its Caribbean offerings. This new service follows the introduction of another important route between Mexico City and San Juan, Puerto Rico, further establishing the airline’s growing presence in the region. The latest launch is designed to meet the increasing demand for direct connections to popular destinations in the Caribbean, boosting both tourism and business travel.
The inaugural flight of the Mexico City–Punta Cana route (Flight AM461) was a resounding success, with the flight almost completely booked, boasting a remarkable 98 percent occupancy rate. Upon arrival, the flight was greeted by a festive reception featuring traditional music and dance performances, arranged by the Ministry of Tourism. This lively welcome highlighted the rich cultural heritage of the Dominican Republic and showcased the country’s hospitality.
Dignitaries from both Aeromexico and the Dominican Republic were present at the ceremony, including the Mexican Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, who participated in the ribbon-cutting event. This warm reception at Punta Cana International Airport underscores the importance of the new route and symbolizes the strengthening of ties between the two nations.
