On 10 November 2025 Aeroméxico announced it will reactivate six-weekly Boeing 787 flights between Mexico City and Barcelona from 28 March 2026, complementing its existing Madrid services and lifting the carrier’s Spain-bound seat supply to a record 40 weekly frequencies next summer.
The SkyTeam member will also open a new Monterrey–Paris route, but the Barcelona reinstatement is strategically important for Catalonia, whose government has campaigned for more long-haul links to diversify tourism beyond Europe.
![Aeroméxico to Restore Direct Mexico City–Barcelona Flights, Raising Capacity to Spain by 11 %]()
Aeroméxico suspended the MEX–BCN service during the pandemic and deferred its return amid airspace capacity constraints at Mexico City International Airport. With infrastructure upgrades now under way—and strong premium-cabin demand from the tech and automotive sectors—analysts say the route can achieve load factors above 85 percent.
For Spanish corporates, the flight offers a non-stop alternative to U.S. hubs that require ESTA processing and transit security checks. It also supports growing trade in renewable-energy technology as Iberdrola, Acciona Energía and other Spanish multinationals expand their Mexican portfolios.
Tickets are already on sale, and Aeroméxico is marketing through-fares that connect Barcelona to 42 Mexican and Central American cities, creating new one-stop itineraries for Spanish exporters and mobility teams relocating staff to Monterrey’s industrial corridor.
