Aeromexico is Mexico’s oldest carrier and the only one operating long-haul flights to destinations in Europe and Asia. Employing a fleet of over 150 aircraft, including 20 Boeing 787 Dreamliners (eight -8s and 12 -9s), it has plenty of routes well over 5,000 miles in distance. Which ones are they? Let’s find out.

Going the distance

Aeromexico currently operates 4,118 weekly flights, making available 619,336 seats, or about 150.4 per departure, according to data from Cirium. The airline serves 88 destinations, including 40 international. Without further ado, let’s review Aeromexico’s top ten longest routes from bottom to top.

10. Mexico City-Buenos Aires

We start in Latin America. Aeromexico’s tenth-longest route connects Mexico City International Airport (MEX) to Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport (EZE). The Mexican carrier flies daily the 4,584 miles long distance between both cities (7,377 kilometers). This route is uncontested.
