Travelers and businesses in Portland get a new connection to Mexico City starting January 21, 2027, as Aeroméxico and Delta Air Lines resume daily nonstop service. This new flight from Portland International Airport adds to the existing options for trade and tourism between Oregon and its second-largest foreign partner.
Why it matters
With Mexico accounting for 18% of Oregon’s total goods exports, the return of this route provides critical belly-cargo capacity for local industries. Whether this restored connection will substantially increase regional tourism spending remains to be seen.
Mexico accounts for $6.2 billion, or 18%, of Oregon's total annual goods exports. PDX will offer 11 total nonstop international destinations once this route launches, five of which serve Mexican markets.
