From Cerro de la Silla to the Eiffel Tower and nonstop: new direct route Monterrey-Paris begins
Monterrey incorporates a direct connection with one of the main air hubs in Europe.
The new route expands long-distance travel options from the north of the country.
OMA continues to develop a network with greater international coverage and operational capacity.
Monterrey, NL, April 13, 2026. – Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA), in alliance with Aeroméxico and in coordination with the Government of the State of Nuevo León, announces the start of operations of the direct Monterrey–Paris (CDG) route, incorporating this European destination into the airport network for the first time.
The opening of this direct route expands Monterrey's connectivity by adding a second option for reaching Europe, complementing Aeromexico's existing flight between Monterrey and Madrid. This facilitates long-haul, nonstop travel and improves travel time efficiency for passengers. This addition consolidates Monterrey International Airport's position as the hub of northern Mexico and strengthens its international network by adding a connection point to one of Europe's major hubs, which offers excellent connectivity to numerous destinations in the region.
“The new direct Monterrey–Paris route reinforces Monterrey International Airport’s role as the main air hub in northern Mexico. This connection with Europe not only expands international connectivity options but also positions Nuevo León as a strategic gateway for tourism, business, and investment between both continents,” said Ricardo Dueñas, CEO of OMA Airports.
In this way, Paris is integrated as an additional node within the network operated from Monterrey, allowing for new passenger flows and greater connectivity. These types of routes contribute to the sustained growth of international traffic and the expansion of the number of direct destinations served from northern Mexico.
“At Aeromexico, we are very proud to present this seasonal route between Monterrey, Nuevo León, and Paris, a connection that brings two key cities closer together and significantly strengthens connectivity between northern Mexico and Europe. For the airline, this new operation represents a strategic step in our international expansion and our commitment to offering more options, boosting tourism, cultural, and business exchange, as well as responding to the growing demand from travelers by offering warm and punctual service aboard Mexico’s most modern fleet,” said Emmanuel Oswald, Aeromexico’s Regional Sales Manager in France.
Monterrey will have three weekly flights to Paris via a direct service:
Departures from Monterrey on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 3:15 pm, arriving in Paris at 9:45 am the following day.
Return flights from Paris on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 12:00 pm, arriving in Monterrey at 3:30 pm.
“Nuevo León is opening a direct connection with Europe, with one of the most important capitals in the world. This route strengthens our international ties and expands opportunities for tourism, business, and exchange for the state,” said Maricarmen Martínez Villarreal, Secretary of Tourism for Nuevo León.
Monterrey International Airport registers a flow of more than 15 million passengers annually and more than 130,000 operations per year, with more than 65 direct routes (including more than 26 international destinations), which supports its capacity to incorporate new operations and expand its connectivity network.
