¡Adios Aeroméxico!
Aeroméxico ends service Detroit-Monterrey-Mexico City.

Detroit, Michigan, January 9, 2009 (Detroit Spotters) – After 9 months of service, Aeromexco has ended allservice to Detroit. The flight originated as a Boeing 737-300, 3 times weekly, and switched to 6 times weekly with the slightly smaller Embraer 190 operated by Aeromexcio Connect. All indications are that the flight was doing great.

The flight was recently reduced to 3 times weekly before being cut although loads stayed strong. The route (Detroit-Monterry with continuing service to Mexico City) will still be served by Northwest Airlines subsidy Compass (DTW-MTY) via the Embraer 170 aircraft. Aeromexico will continue to codeshare on Delta's flights out of DTW, and soon Northwest's flights.

This news comes as another blow to Detroit as Delta Airlines has announced cuts to
flights operated by Northwest Airlines as they intend to use the equipment on other
routes.
