Aeroméxico and Delta Air Lines are set to resume daily nonstop flights connecting Portland International Airport to Mexico City. The service, which will provide additional belly-cargo capacity for commercial trade, is scheduled to commence on January 21, 2027.

Why it matters

Mexico remains Oregon's second-largest foreign trade partner, making this connection vital for both regional commercial interests and international tourism. The route expansion is expected to boost spending from travelers while streamlining logistics between the two markets.

Mexico accounted for $6.2 billion in Oregon's total goods exports in 2024, representing 18% of the state's international trade volume. PDX currently services 11 nonstop international destinations, five of which are located within Mexican markets.
