Launch dates, schedule and seating
The first flight into Nashville International Airport, known as BNA, is scheduled for June 13, 2027. Service in the opposite direction begins June 14.
According to Aviacionline, departures from Mexico City are scheduled for 3:15 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving in Nashville at 8 p.m. Flights from Nashville will leave at 9:30 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and reach Mexico City at 12:05 p.m.
Aeromexico will assign 99-seat Embraer 190 aircraft to the route, with 11 seats in the Premier cabin. Seats are arranged two on each side of the aisle, so there are no middle seats.
Connections through Mexico City
Passengers from Middle Tennessee will be able to connect at Mexico City International Airport to Aeromexico's wider network. From that hub, the airline operates 113 routes serving more than 100 destinations in Mexico and 23 other countries.
"This is a significant milestone for Nashville International Airport as we welcome Aeromexico as our newest airline partner and continue to expand opportunities for international travel from Middle Tennessee," said Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority.
Ivan Vukov, Aeromexico's U.S. sales manager, described Nashville as an exciting addition to the carrier's expanding U.S. network and said passengers would gain connections across Mexico and beyond.
The announcement comes after BNA disclosed plans in September 2026 for nonstop service to Guadalajara by Volaris. According to The Tennessean, the Mexico City-based ultra-low-cost carrier's Nashville route would be its first service in Tennessee.
A broader expansion with Delta
Nashville is one of three new Mexico City routes that Aeromexico and Delta announced on Nov. 9, 2026. Their joint venture also plans nonstop service to New Orleans and San Juan, Puerto Rico, along with a second daily flight to Austin, Texas. The additions are scheduled to begin in June 2027, bringing the alliance's network between Mexico City and the United States to 30 destinations.
Like Nashville, New Orleans will receive Embraer 190 service. Aeromexico plans to use Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft for San Juan and the additional Austin flight, each configured with 166 seats, including 16 in Premier.
Tickets for all three new routes and the added Austin flight were already on sale through both airlines' sales channels when the announcement was made, according to ViveUSA, citing EFE.
