Aeromexico Connect
Aeroméxico Connect is a Mexican regional airline operating scheduled feeder services for Aeroméxico, primarily with Embraer regional jets through Mexico City and other major domestic gateways.
About Aeromexico Connect
Aeroméxico Connect is the regional operating subsidiary of Mexico’s flag carrier, Aeroméxico. The airline was established in 1988 as Servicios Aéreos Litoral and became widely known as Aerolitoral before adopting the Aeroméxico Connect identity in 2007. It is part of Grupo Aeroméxico and operates flights under the parent airline’s brand, providing regional capacity and feeding passengers into the wider Aeroméxico network.
Mexico City International Airport is its principal hub, with operations also commonly associated with important Aeroméxico gateways such as Monterrey and Guadalajara. Its network focuses mainly on domestic Mexican routes, linking the capital and major commercial centres with regional cities and leisure destinations. Individual routes may be transferred between Aeroméxico Connect and mainline Aeroméxico as schedules, demand and aircraft assignments change.
The carrier is closely associated with Embraer regional jets, particularly the E190 family. These aircraft are suited to thinner routes that do not always require Aeroméxico’s larger Boeing 737s. Flights generally use Aeroméxico’s standard economy product and may offer Clase Premier seating or service on suitably configured aircraft, although the experience, amenities and seat layout can vary by route and aircraft.
Aeroméxico is a founding member of SkyTeam, and eligible Connect flights participate in the alliance network through their operation and sale under the Aeroméxico brand. Passengers can earn and redeem points through Aeroméxico Rewards, subject to fare rules and membership conditions. Reciprocal SkyTeam benefits may also apply for qualifying elite members when the flight is marketed and operated as an eligible Aeroméxico service.
A major strength of Aeroméxico Connect is its ability to connect smaller Mexican markets with Aeroméxico’s principal hubs and onward international flights on a single itinerary. Travellers should nevertheless expect the practical limitations of regional aircraft, including less overhead-bin space and potentially tighter cabins than on mainline jets. Aircraft assignments and regional schedules can also change, so checking the operating carrier before departure is worthwhile.
Good to know
Flying with Aeromexico Connect — what to expect
Regional Jet Storage
Embraer aircraft have smaller overhead bins than larger mainline jets. Cabin crew may need to tag some otherwise acceptable carry-on bags for loading in the hold.
Aeroméxico Check-In
Flights are normally booked and managed through Aeroméxico, so use Aeroméxico’s website, app or airport counters for check-in and itinerary assistance.
Check Operating Carrier
Aeroméxico may move routes between Connect and mainline aircraft. Review the operating-carrier and aircraft information near departure if cabin layout or overhead space matters to you.
Through Connections
When all flights are on one ticket, Connect services can feed into Aeroméxico’s domestic and international network with baggage generally checked to the ticketed destination, subject to customs procedures.
Fare Rules Vary
Baggage, seat selection and change conditions are determined by the Aeroméxico fare purchased. Check the specific allowance shown on your confirmation rather than relying on a general cabin policy.

8 common questions
- Aeroméxico’s cabin-baggage rules apply, with the permitted allowance depending on the fare and itinerary. Because Connect uses regional jets with smaller bins, an accepted cabin bag may occasionally need to be tagged and placed in the hold.
- Aeroméxico Connect primarily serves domestic Mexican cities and leisure destinations, feeding passengers into Aeroméxico’s broader network. Routes commonly link Mexico City and other hubs with cities such as Oaxaca, Veracruz, Mérida, Chihuahua and León.
