Moreover, a similar fare was actually available on the Mexico City–Vancouver flight on this day, also on the Boeing 737. If I had chosen a more direct journey without the overnight in Mexico City, the fare would’ve been much higher, well into the $1,000+ region.īy adding a 17-hour layover in CDMX, which is always a good idea in my books, we were able to bring the fare down significantly. I’d note that I observed some interesting quirks with Aeromexico’s business class pricing when booking this flight. $600 is nothing to scoff at of course, but it ended up being the best option because economy class fares were not cheaper by much, given the strict pandemic-induced controls around flights in and out of Nicaragua at the time of our trip in November 2021. The fare was around $600 (CAD) total for Managua–Mexico City–San Francisco, with a long layover in Mexico City. In the last few weeks, the Mexican airline has received three 737-800s previously used by Norwegian and TUI.This itinerary with Aeromexico was one of the rare occasions that I actually paid outright for a business class fare. Additionally, there were only 30 737-800s, but this aircraft will have a second stint.

Nowadays, only five 737-700s remain, but all are leaving the company soon. During yesterday’s Boeing 737 MAX 9 tour, we could see two E190 stored and ready to leave the airline.Īeromexico has also been reducing its Boeing 737-700 and 737-800 fleets consistently. Nevertheless, that will change, as confirmed to Simple Flying by senior maintenance engineers at Aeromexico. The Embraer 190 fleet was still at 47 by the end of 2021’s first quarter. The first ones to go were the Embraer 170 planes. Along with that reorganization, the carrier has retired and rejected leasing contracts of several aircraft.

As we know, Aeromexico is currently under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. Nothing really changed until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Mexican airline. The COVID pandemic led to further changes
