AeroMexico has restored its international service from New Orleans to Mexico City, making it the airport’s first international flight since Hurricane Katrina. The global airline of Latin America plans to launch six weekly, non-stop flights beginning July 6, with connecting flights to San Pedro Sula, Honduras on 50-seat ERJ 145 regional jets. Frank Galan, vice president of the U.S. Division of AeroMexico, said the decision “is an expression of our confidence in New Orleans and the tremendous progress you have made since Hurricane Katrina. We believe this is an ideal time to expand.” GNO Inc. President Michael Hecht said the move was a sign that the airport “is truly international again” and that the greater New Orleans region is reclaiming the mantle of Gateway to the Americas. GNO Inc. played a critical role as broker and catalyst.
