AeroMexico begins daily nonstops to Denver

AeroMexico marked its inaugural flight from Mexico City to Denver with a full plane Sunday and is hoping for many more.

Sunday's flight marked the beginning of daily, nonstop flights between Denver and Mexico City, where the carrier is based.

"Passenger traffic trends also indicate that important, unmet demand exists for this service," AeroMexico's vice president for the U.S. division, Frank Galan, said in a news release. AeroMexico officials could not be reached for more details, but Evergreen aviation consultant Mike Boyd said there is plenty of business and "visiting friends and relatives" travel to justify the route. "This should be a barnburner for them." Boyd has worked with other cities to lure AeroMexico.

AeroMexico's return flight to Mexico City on Sunday was "decently full," Galan said.
