Mexico City (AICM)-Cozumel

Starting on Mar. 26, Cozumel, Quintana Roo will be added to the list of Aeroméxico’s domestic network flying out of Mexico City International Airport (AICM).

In total, the company announced four new direct routes, all departing from the AICM, to Colima, Cozumel, Tepic and Ciudad Victoria.
