" A plane full to bursting The observation – confirmed – made by Elsa David, Aeromexico's sales manager in France, augurs well for the inauguration of the new Paris-Monterrey flight. This aircraft, a Dreamliner, took off from Paris-CDG on April 14th as scheduled, despite the festivities surrounding this launch – Aeromexico strengthens its position as the world's most punctual airline for two years running according to Cirium, a significant asset for business travellers.
Business customers will undoubtedly contribute to boosting the occupancy rate of the Aeromexico-liveried Boeing on the Paris-Monterrey route. This is because the destination is already well-known in the French corporate market as the industrial capital of Mexico and a leading university hub, recognised internationally. The presence of numerous French companies will clearly contribute to the success of the new route to this region of Nuevo Leon. Furthermore, France opened its first Consulate General there in 2021 for over a decade, proof of the destination's importance for French stakeholders, and vice versa.
Yes, of course, Mexico It undeniably ranks among the essential destinations on the continent, and beyond. However, enabling French and European business travellers to reach Monterrey directly, without a stopover in the capital, sounds like a major selling point in the corporate market.
What's more, the offer put in place by Aeromexico has everything to attract business clients. A Dreamliner, all modern and comfortable, which connects Paris to Monterrey three times a week, with well-thought-out schedules. Particularly on the return journey, with an overnight flight landing on Paris tarmac at 9:45 am: ideal for smoothly starting a productive day, rested, especially for business passengers (Premier One Class) who will have enjoyed a seat that reclines 180 degrees – with a topper thrown in. And for the more studious, Wi-Fi is also available in all classes, and even unlimited in business class. Furthermore, at Paris CDG (in Terminal 2 now) as well as in Monterrey, there's access to the business lounge for greater comfort and productivity.
This new route, currently planned until 23 October 2026, sends a strong signal to the French market. Paris is indeed becoming the second European capital to be connected to Monterrey by direct flight after Madrid, the European epicentre of Aeromexico.
" Paris is among our passengers' favourite destinations confirms Sonia Oliveras. The Sales Director Europe at Aeroméxico continues: « As part of our development strategy, we wish to offer new connectivity options to meet the strong demand for travel between Mexico and Europe. We thank the Mexican and French authorities for their close collaboration, which has made this new route a reality. ".
" Mexico, with its geography, commercial openness, manufacturing tradition and human capital, asserts itself as an ideal partner for French companies investing or developing their activities within its territory. » emphasises Alba Gomez, Aeromexico’s commercial manager for France.
Proof of the potential of this line in the business market, a business trip is also planned in Monterrey next December by Business France: " A trip to Monterrey, the country's main industrial hub, will allow us to meet with major Mexican groups at their premises, with collective presentations within the delegation and individual meetings with qualified partners or prospects. » is what the organisers of these French Energy Efficiency Days 2026 foresee. It remains to be seen whether the potential of the route will be confirmed over time, perhaps to the point of pushing Aeromexico to extend the experience for the year ?
