In Monday (February 26, 2024), Aeromexico’s Vice President of Sales – U.S., Canada and Latin America, Jose Zapata, said,
“This new service to the Tampa Bay area demonstrates our commitment to offer the best connectivity between Mexico and the United States, hand in hand with our partner Delta Air Lines. As a result, our customers will have more options for leisure and business travel, and Tampa Bay has a lot to offer.”
Also commenting on the new Florida service, Tampa International Airport’s CEO, Joe Lopano, said,
“It’s a big day for TPA when we get to announce both a new airline and a new route that connects Tampa Bay with the largest metropolitan area in North America.
