Delta flights Mexico City to Memphis Airport

Delta airlines is adding a sixth international destination from its hub at Memphis International Airport with a new weekly flight to Mexico City beginning Jan. 8, 2011*.
The new Mexico City flight will operate once weekly, on Saturdays, with 124-seat Airbus A319 aircraft.
In addition to Mexico City, other international destinations served by Delta from Memphis include year-round, daily flights to Amsterdam and Toronto and seasonal flights to Cancun, Cozumel and Montego Bay. In total, Delta currently offers Memphis customers more than 220 peak-day departures to 82 nonstop destinations.

“Mexico is the second largest trading partner in the Memphis area and this new flight will further strengthen the trade ties between our regions,” said John Moore, CEO, Greater Memphis Chamber. “When you put together the coming I-69 corridor with the confluence of rail, river and runway here in Memphis, our city is well-positioned to continue growing trade ties to Mexico and Latin America.”

Added Arnold Perl, chairman, Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority: “Delta continues to show its confidence in the Memphis hub with new flights and it is critical that the Memphis community continues to demonstrate its partnership and support for our hometown airline. Each new route is a major investment and our new Mexico City service will only succeed with the support of Memphis-area travelers.”

”For the Mexican Government, this new flight is the natural outcome of the strong, essential and deep relations between my country and Memphis,” said Andres Chao, consul of Mexico based in Little Rock, Ark. Mr. Chao added Memphis is “an exceptional point of entry and distribution to the United States, both for commercial and leisure travel purposes.”
