en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mexicana de Aviación recently launched a new route from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) to Acapulco, achieving a 95% load factor on its inaugural flight. This route expands its domestic network to 15 destinations and adds capacity to one of Mexico's key tourism markets.

The state-owned airline operates the route using Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, configured with 135 seats, offering three round-trip flights per week on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. At the inauguration ceremony held at AIFA, Mexicana's General Director Leobardo Ávila Bojórquez stated that the new route aims to strengthen connectivity and support economic activity in the state of Guerrero. "This connection enhances mobility, promotes tourism, creates business opportunities, and contributes to the economic development of one of Mexico's main tourist destinations," Ávila said.

The route launch is part of Mexicana's broader expansion strategy, as the airline continues to increase operations at its primary base, AIFA. Ávila confirmed that the airline will add four new destinations in July: Hermosillo, Chihuahua, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, and the Bajío region.

Guerrero's Secretary of Tourism, Simón Quiñónez Orozco, provided air passenger data: Acapulco's air passenger arrivals in May increased by 17.1% year-over-year, from 52,620 to 61,594; during the period from January to May 2026, passenger arrivals increased by 7.7% year-over-year, from 294,867 to 317,495.
