AEROMEXICO AND AEROFLOT TO CONNECT

MEXICO AND RUSSIA

  • The airlines entered into a codeshare agreement to offer Aeromexico customers the possibility of connecting to Moscow via Amsterdam, London, Madrid, and Paris

  • Codeshare passengers also enjoy access to the benefits offered by the airline's frequent flyer programs and SkyPriority, as well as to both airline's premium airport lounges.

Mexico City, January 14, 2019 - As of today, customers traveling from Mexico and Moscow will be able to connect by air more easily, thanks to the new codeshare agreement signed by Aeromexico, Mexico's global airline and the Russian airline Aeroflot.

Customers from Mexico will be able to travel to the Russian capital via one of the points that Aeromexico serves in Europe, including Amsterdam, London, Madrid, and Paris.

Aeromexico and Aeroflot have been strong partners for several years thanks to the SkyTeam alliance to which both airlines belong. Consequently, this codeshare also includes the benefits offered by both airlines' frequent flyer programs featuring mileage accrual and redemption to reward customer loyalty. Each time a frequent flyer member travels on one of these codeshare flights, they will earn miles that they can later exchange for tickets for travel on SkyTeam airlines.

This new codeshare agreement also offers customers access to the exclusive priority services offered by SkyPriority in airports, such as priority check-in, boarding and baggage handling, and priority lanes at ticket offices, transfer desks, and security and immigration controls to ensure a seamless travel experience.

Another advantage included in this codeshare is the reciprocal use of the airline's premium airport lounges, providing customers from both airlines the convenience of these spaces so they can catch up with work or just relax in comfort before departure.

Aeromexico thus reinforces its commitment to continue expanding travel possibilities for its customers through partnerships with major airlines worldwide to ensure that they are able to travel further each day.
