Aeromexico Adds Guadalajara-Paris and Mexico City-Milan Nonstops for 2027
MEXICO · AVIATION
Key Facts
—Guadalajara–Paris: from 13 April 2027, three flights a week, departing Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
—Mexico City–Milan: from 28 March 2027, four flights a week, departing Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
—Network: seven European destinations on 11 routes in 2027, and more than 75 flights a week in each direction in the summer season — the largest European operation in the airline’s history.
—Not yet stated: which aircraft type will fly either route, and what the fares will be.
Aeroméxico will open two new nonstop routes to Europe in 2027, adding Paris from Guadalajara and Milan from Mexico City, the airline said on Monday.
The more interesting of the two is the smaller one. Guadalajara–Paris will be only the second nonstop service between the Jalisco capital and Europe, after the airline’s existing daily flight to Madrid — and it is the sort of route that carriers usually route through their main hub rather than fly direct.
Guadalajara gets a second European nonstop
The Paris service starts on 13 April 2027 with three weekly rotations. Outbound flights leave Guadalajara at 13:55 and reach Charles de Gaulle at 09:25 the following morning; the return leaves Paris at 11:40 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, arriving back at 16:10 the same day.
Aeroméxico frames the route in cultural terms — Paris for its art and food, Jalisco as the home of mariachi and tequila. The commercial logic is less decorative. Guadalajara is Mexico’s second-largest metropolitan economy and the centre of its electronics and software industry, and western Mexico has long-standing family and business ties to Europe that currently route through Mexico City or Madrid. A second European nonstop is a bet that the traffic no longer needs a connection.
With Paris flights already operating from Mexico City and Monterrey, the airline says it will run 13 weekly services between Mexico and the French capital next summer, which it describes as its largest-ever offering to Paris.
A second Italian city
Mexico City–Milan begins slightly earlier, on 28 March 2027, with four flights a week. Departures leave Mexico City at 22:25 and land at Malpensa at 18:20 the next day; the return leaves Milan at 23:05 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Milan becomes Aeroméxico’s second destination in Italy after Rome. Taken together, the two routes give ten nonstop flights a week between Mexico City and Italy.
What it adds up to
With both routes running, Aeroméxico says its 2027 European network will cover seven destinations across 11 routes, with more than 75 weekly flights in each direction during the summer season — the widest European reach in the company’s history. Connections beyond the arrival airports run through the SkyTeam alliance, of which Aeroméxico is a founding member.
“Europe remains one of Aeroméxico’s most important and successful markets,” said Giancarlo Mulinelli, the airline’s senior vice-president of global sales, adding that the two additions reinforce its position as the leading carrier between Mexico and Europe.
Two caveats are worth keeping in view. These are schedule announcements for a season that begins nearly seven months from now, and published start dates for long-haul routes move more often than airlines like to admit. And the announcement does not say which aircraft will fly either service — the group’s operating fleet consists of Boeing 787s and 737s and Embraer 190s — nor what the fares will be. Both determine whether the routes turn out to be significant or merely announced.
