“This partnership will give Aeromexico the opportunity to tap into new markets in the U.S. and encourage even more people to visit Mexico, to experience the culture and hospitality that our country offers,” said Sergio Allard, Aeromexico’s chief commercial officer, in a written statement. “MLT Vacations has in-depth knowledge of how to market and sell Mexico’s diverse attractions to American and Canadian travelers and, by working together, we can offer them easy access to all that Mexico has to offer, for a great value.”
