Aeromexico’s Domestic Network Focus
Aeromexico focuses its domestic operations at Mexico City, with 28 out of the top 30 busiest domestic routes involving Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX). Despite growth at Felipe Ángeles Airport (NLU), Mexico City remains at the core of Aeromexico’s connectivity, with key routes to destinations like Cancun, Monterrey, and Guadalajara maintaining high frequencies and available seat miles (ASMs).
Busiest Routes by Flight Frequency
- The Cancun–Mexico City route is the busiest, with 889 monthly flights, driven by demand from Cancun’s leisure market and MEX’s hub status.
- Mexico City–Monterrey follows with 809 flights, and Mexico City–Guadalajara with 797 flights, indicating strong demand for business travel.
- Other notable routes include Mexico City–Merida with 499 flights and Mexico City–Tijuana with 465 flights, emphasizing Aeromexico’s extensive network through MEX.
Busiest Routes by Seat Capacity
- The Cancun–Mexico City route again leads with 152,668 seats in June.
- Next are Mexico City–Monterrey with 147,700 seats and Guadalajara–Mexico City with 134,549 seats.
- These routes employ larger narrowbody aircraft, showing high seat loads even if some regional markets have lower flight frequencies.
Busiest Routes by Available Seat Miles (ASMs)
- Mexico City–Cancun recorded the highest ASMs with over 122.1 million in June 2025.
- The long Mexico City–Tijuana route had 109.2 million ASMs, reflecting the long flight distance of 1,700 miles.
- Additional high ASM routes include Mexico City–Monterrey with 65.2 million, Hermosillo–Mexico City with 58.6 million, and Mexico City–Merida with 53.1 million ASMs.
Key Observations in Network Strategy
Aeromexico balances business and leisure traffic in its network. While it operates high-frequency short-distance routes, such as Oaxaca and Torreon, which generate fewer ASMs, it also caters to peripheral markets like Tijuana and Hermosillo, competing with low-cost airlines. The minimal use of Felipe Ángeles Airport (NLU) is notable as Aeromexico maintains its full-service model, with a stable and concentrated network.
Aeromexico’s Top 30 Domestic Routes (June 2025)

Conclusion
Aeromexico’s domestic network strategy for June 2025 underscores its hub-and-spoke model based at Mexico City, connecting key cities like Cancun, Monterrey, and Guadalajara. Long-haul domestic flights are significant drivers of ASMs, while high-frequency short routes maintain steady seat counts. The development of Felipe Ángeles Airport (NLU) and the potential rise of new secondary markets remain areas to watch.
