Delta Air Lines has added another new route to Mexico, this time to the country’s increasingly popular capital city.

The carrier has officially launched a new route from Minneapolis-St Paul to Mexico City, with service operating daily.

Delta is running the flights on Airbus A319 aircraft, with 12 seats in first class, 18 in Delta Comfort+ and 102 in the main cabin.

Thanks to Delta’s new cooperation agreement with AeroMexico, the new flights will also provide one-point connections to destinations in Mexico like Oaxaca and Guadalajara.

That also includes access to 41 AeroMexico destinations in Mexico ranging from Cancun to Los Cabos.

“The nonstop service between the Twin Cities and Mexico City represents an advantage to the business community as it allows for easy access to one of the most important business capitals in Latin America,” said Ben Humphrey, Delta’s Vice President for Airport Operations.
