Delta, in conjunction with its partner Aeromexico, is launching a new flight from its hub in the Twin Cities to Mexico City, subject to government approval. In addition, Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport offers connections to more than a dozen cities in the U.S and Canada not available over other Delta hubs.
Service will be aboard Delta's Airbus A319 aircraft with seating for 12 in First Class, 18 in Delta Comfort and 102 in the main cabin. Customers will have access to Wi-Fi, free in-flight messaging on iMessage, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp as well as free in-flight entertainment through Delta Studio.
The new service will operate on the following schedule beginning June 8:
- Flight departs MSP at 8:50 a.m. and arrives in MEX at 1:01 p.m.
- Flight departs MEX at 2 p.m. and arrives in MSP at 6:14 p.m.
The new service rounds out nonstop flights operated by Delta and Aeromexico from all of Delta's U.S. hubs to Aeromexico's hub at Mexico City Benito Juarez International Airport, where flights give customers access to not only Mexico's largest and capital city, but dozens of destinations throughout Mexico. On a combined basis, Delta and Aeromexico offer more than 160 daily flights between the U.S. and Mexico.
Delta's Minneapolis/St. Paul hub offers approximately 400 departures every day, moving Delta customers across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia, including Tokyo-Haneda Airport, the business traveler's preferred airport located near central Tokyo. Earlier in 2018, Delta announced new service to Seoul-Incheon airport in conjunction with partner Korean Air to begin in April 2019. Additionally, Delta announced proposed service from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Shanghai to begin in 2020 subject to government approval.
