Aeromexico will partner with Delta this summer to expand its U.S. network to the East Coast. The flights begin in early June, bringing the total connections between the countries to 26. The routes continue the Aeromexico-Delta Joint Cooperation Agreement (JCA), which added 28 new seasonal and scheduled trips in 2024. The JCA began five years ago and continues growing into 2025.

Starting June 5, 2025, Aeromexico will begin flying daily between San Luis Potosí International Airport (SLP) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), and Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez (MEX) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). The Philadephia flight will be Aeromexicos first-ever trip to the East Coast city. The airline notes that Philadephia is the largest U.S. market lacking nonstop flights to Mexico City.

The flight between Atlanta to San Luis Potosí will utilize an Embraer 190 aircraft with seating for 99 passengers. It’ll depart from Mexico at 9:00 a.m. and land in the U.S. at 2:22 p.m. The return trip embarks at 3:39 p.m. and lands at 4:49 p.m.

The trip between Philadelphia and Mexico City will use a Boeing 737 MAX-8, with space for 166 passengers, and high-speed Wi-Fi, fast charging outlets, and Bluetooth. The route takes off from Philadelphia at 10:02 a.m. before landing in Mexico City at 12:55 p.m. The return flight embarks at 1:35 p.m. and lands at 8:25 p.m.

Passengers making the trip can look forward to on-time flights, as the Cirium On-time Performance Review named Aeromexico the most punctual airline for 2024. That’s in combination with Delta being named the most on-time North American airline during the same period.

Delta is helping develop this innovative aircraft

Delta is helping Jet Zero develop a new plane

delta jetzero plane development jet zero flying rendering

Delta is joining forces with JetZero to help bring a blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft to the skies. With a futuristic, sci-fi appearance, the innovative plane will mark a significant departure from today’s conventional tube and wing designs. The collaboration includes Delta as a potential buyer, helping to iron out design and operation issues during development.
BWB aircraft offer a similar range yet burn half the fuel

JetZero’s blended-wing body aircraft is lighter and more aerodynamic than current tube and wing designs. That should provide a similar range and speed as today’s midbody airliners, while burning half the fuel. That’ll save airlines money while helping them reach the industry’s 2050 goal of zero carbon emissions. Unlike conventional airliners, the BWB mixes the passenger area into the wings, the shape reduces drag and increasing lift. That means the plane can fly higher, in thinner air, for fuel savings.

Delta’s collaboration with Shake Shack is gaining popularity, and as a result, it will expand to additional routes. The program began on December 1, 2024, when the airline began offering the chain’s burgers on flights out of Boston. Due to customer enthusiasm, the partnership will expand to several major U.S. cities.
Delta now offers Shake Shack from these U.S. hubs

Starting March 4, Delta began offering its Shake Shack menu on First Class flights over 900 miles from Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, and New York-LaGuardia. As soon as the program launched in December 2024, it proved popular with travelers, and the airline has served 10,000 burgers since. The Shake Shack burger uses a 100% Angus beef patty, covered in cheese, and served on a potato bun. Passengers can customize their burgers, adding Shake Shack’s famous ShackSauce, and lettuce and tomato. On the side, the burger comes with chips, a Caesar salad, and a chocolate brownie.
