Aeromexico Returns to Loreto

Travel to Baja to become easier again


Travel interests have in Baja California Sur have evidently provided enough guarantees to persuade Aeromexico to reinstate service to Loreto starting July 2 with expected daily jet service from San Diego and Mexico City. More than 30 years ago, Loreto was one of five destinations selected for major development by the Mexican government, which funds the basic infrastructure to lure private investors. Then, the anticipated development was straight tourism, but now residential communities for retiring baby boomers are also a big Loreto. A year ago, five carriers served Loreto, but with the economic meltdown, only Alaska Airlines remains with four flights a week. The restored Aeromexico service will make this pleasant, low-key part of Baja more accessible for visitors too.

  1. I flew Aeromexico yesterday en route home from a few days in Puerto Vallarta - (via Mexico City.)

    Aeromexico's part of the airport in Terminal 2 is quite pleasant and easy to navigate. Unlike terminal 1 it's bright with wide open spaces, good signage and views, and not a bad place to spend a few hours in.

    Not sure how Denver's connections time to Loreto with their flight, but I'd fly them again. Aeromexico and the staff was pleasant, and even though a full meal wouldn't make me choose them over a non-stop flight somewhere it's still nice to have. (On a 3.5 hour flight.)
