Aeromexico transitions to 787s, phasing out 767s; non-stops Mexico City-Tokyo and upgrade for London

Aeromexico has made significant improvements to its long haul operation following the transition to 787s on two of its three European routes and schedule changes on its two Asian routes. Further improvements are expected as Aeromexico takes delivery of additional 787s, enabling it to phase out its remaining 767s and 777s and pursue growth.

London, which was launched in late 2012 with three weekly 767 frequencies, has performed particularly well since the transition to 787s in 2014, prompting the carrier to add two more frequencies. The new five times per week schedule gives Aeromexico a better product for the key corporate market.

Aeromexico hopes eventually to serve all its long haul markets, including Shanghai and Tokyo, with at least five weekly flights and potentially a daily service. Newly available higher thrust ratings for its 787-8s will also enable Aeromexico to begin serving Tokyo non-stop from Mexico City by the end of 2015.
