Aeromexico will halt five U.S. routes in 2019 in a
cost-cutting measure.
The airline will suspend Mexico City-Boston, Mexico
City-Washington Dulles, Mexico City-Portland, Monterrey-Las Vegas and
Guadalajara-San Jose.
The cuts are a result of Aeromexico's decision to retire
five aircraft as part of a cost-saving plan. Aeromexico will also suspend four
domestic routes.
The carrier reported a net loss of 617 million pesos ($31.9
million) during the third quarter as fuel prices jumped 45.7% and the peso fell
6.7% versus the dollar.
Aeromexico partners with Delta on a U.S-Mexico joint venture
alliance. Delta owns a minority stake in the airline.
