Delta Air Lines Cargo and Grupo Aeromexico have entered a joint cargo cooperation agreement to give customers with U.S.-Mexico cross-border shipments a broader array of flights and trucking options, the companies said in a statement.
The two airlines have already co-located warehouses in Mexico, Boston, New York-JFK, Miami, San Francisco and Chicago, with Orlando, Fla., and Detroit opening in the summer. The two companies will also pursue joint sales and marketing initiatives in both countries.
“Aeromexico and Delta as partners have the largest, more comprehensive and expanding air cargo network in the U.S.-Mexico market,” Rafael Figueroa, CEO of Aeromexico Cargo, said of the agreement.
Delta will provide service in the United States through its connecting hubs in Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York, Salt Lake City and Seattle, while Aeromexico will offer increased access to Mexico through its hubs in Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara.
The airlines currently transport myriad cargoes in the U.S.-Mexico transborder market. From the United States, turbine parts, medical equipment, auto parts, perishables and aircraft parts are some of the significant products shipped to Mexico. From Mexico, volumes of tequila, medical equipment, and aircraft and auto parts are carried to the United States.
