NASHVILLE, Tennessee – The Aeroméxico-Delta Alliance has announced a new non-stop service connecting Nashville International Airport (BNA) and Mexico City, marking the first-ever direct flight between the “Music City” and Mexico’s most populous metropolis. The new route aims to establish a strategic gateway for travelers between the heart of Tennessee and the cultural capital of North America.
The announcement highlights a significant expansion for regional aviation. Doug Kreulen, President and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA), hailed the move as a major milestone for the region.
“This is a significant milestone for Nashville International Airport as we welcome Aeroméxico as our new partner airline and continue to expand international travel opportunities from the heart of Tennessee,“ said Kreulen. He noted that the new service will strengthen regional ties, offering travelers convenient access to Mexico’s diverse cultural landmarks, business hubs, and leisure destinations across Latin America.
Flight Details and Connectivity
The year-round service will operate four flights weekly. The inaugural flight from Mexico City is scheduled to arrive in Nashville on June 13, 2027, with the first return flight from BNA departing on June 14, 2027.
Aeroméxico will operate the route using the Embraer 190 (E190) aircraft, which features a capacity of 99 passengers—including 11 seats in the premium Premier cabin. The aircraft is configured with a 2-2 seating layout, ensuring all passengers have either an aisle or a window seat.
Through its operations hub at Mexico City International Airport (MEX), Aeroméxico manages the most extensive network in the Mexican aviation market, serving over 100 destinations across Mexico and 23 other countries. The new Nashville connection allows Tennessee residents to access a vast network of global destinations for business, culture, and tourism.
Strategic Partnership
The launch is part of a broader effort to enhance connectivity between the United States and Mexico. This initiative complements the ongoing Cooperation Agreement between Aeroméxico and Delta, which is set to operate more than 80 regular and seasonal routes between the two nations by the end of 2026.
Destination Highlights
Mexico City, originally founded as the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán in 1325, remains a global powerhouse of history and modernity. The city offers a wealth of cultural experiences, from the UNESCO-designated historic center and the National Anthropology Museum to the vibrant culinary scene that has earned it international acclaim.
Nashville International Airport (BNA) continues to serve as a vital economic driver for the state of Tennessee. As one of the fastest-growing airports in the country, BNA plays a crucial role in supporting the region’s economic prosperity and the growth of its signature music and entertainment industries.
