Aeromexico Just Added a New Cancun Flight. Now It’s Launching Cartagena Service. 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - September 2, 2024

The colonial architecture, the art galleries, the thumping live music. Cartagena, Colombia has been one of the fastest-growing destinations in the Caribbean Basin in recent years, with new hotels, new brands and a host of new flights on major airlines. 

Now you can add another airline to the list: Aeromexico, which is adding its first-ever flights to the destination on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. 

Beginning next February, Aeromexico will kick off daily flights between Mexico City and Cartagena, with a targeted launch date of Feb. 20 — right before the city’s raucous carnival celebrations begin. 

The launch comes after Aeromexico just announced another new route, with flights to Cancun out of the Miami market. That route will begin on Dec. 19, the company confirmed to Caribbean Journal.

Aeromexico is flying the service on Boeing 737 MAX planes, with room for 166 passengers. 

Cartagena is the carrier’s third destination in Colombia.
