The Bahamas Welcomes Nonstop Flight to Mexico City

Nassau, The Bahamas, Sept. 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism (BMOT) has welcomed Aeromexico's launch of nonstop service between Mexico City and Nassau, with the inaugural flight scheduled for March 19, 2027. The new route marks the first scheduled connection between the capitals of both countries and represents the most significant expansion of The Bahamas' airlift network into Latin America to date.

The new service, which is set to begin on March 19, 2027, will give The Bahamas access to one of the hemisphere's most important aviation gateways, the second-largest Latin America economy, and one of the region's most important outbound travel markets. This first scheduled nonstop service between Mexico City and Nassau will improve accessibility between two important tourism and business markets, creating new opportunities for tourism, trade, and investment.

Aeromexico's decision to connect Mexico City and Nassau is a landmark step in expanding The Bahamas' reach across Latin America. The new route strengthens international connectivity for The Bahamas, offering corporate passengers new opportunities to strengthen commercial ties between the two nations, while also expanding Aeromexico's portfolio of beach destinations and providing more efficient connections to world-class leisure destinations for Mexican travelers.

The Ministry's Airlift Department worked closely with Aeromexico throughout the route evaluation and development process, supporting market analysis, stakeholder engagement, and destination readiness initiatives ahead of the launch. The effort involved collaboration among the Ministry's Airlift, Sales and Marketing, and Communications teams, together with public and private sector tourism partners. The new service will enhance connectivity between Nassau, Mexico City, and other major Mexican cities such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mérida, Cancún, Querétaro, and Tijuana, as well as key markets throughout Central and South America.

The 160-seat service will be operated by Aeromexico, with flights scheduled as flight AM740, departing Mexico City at 9:10 a.m. and arriving in Nassau at 3 p.m. The return flight, AM741, will depart Nassau at 4:15 p.m. and arrive in Mexico City at 6:30 p.m. Flights are planned on Boeing 737-800, 737 MAX 8, and 737 MAX 9 aircraft, subject to operational requirements.

Upon arrival in Nassau, visitors will have access to the entire Bahamian archipelago via the Lynden Pindling International Airport. Domestic air services and ferry connections provide onward access to destinations including Exuma, Eleuthera, Harbour Island, Andros, Long Island, Bimini, Abaco, San Salvador, and Grand Bahama.

While The Bahamas has maintained air connections within the wider Caribbean for decades, the launch of nonstop service between Mexico City and Nassau establishes a strategic platform for continued expansion into Latin America. Mexico City International Airport, Aeromexico's principal hub, handles more than 44 million passengers annually and offers connections to more than 100 destinations across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

By linking The Bahamas to Aeromexico's extensive network, the new route strengthens regional connectivity and enhances access to a market of more than 670 million people and one of the world's largest and fastest-growing consumer bases. This will create new opportunities for tourism, commerce, and investment that will benefit The Bahamas for years to come.
