Monterrey, N.L., July 13, 2026. – Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA) proudly announces that Aeromexico has extended the Monterrey–Paris (Charles de Gaulle) direct route into a permanent operation.

It also highlights the significant impact of ongoing investments in infrastructure designed to strengthen the region’s connection to transatlantic markets.
The growth in both domestic and international connectivity is further reflected in positive passenger traffic trends. In June alone, the terminal hosted 1,327,028 passengers, including 235,985 international travelers, underscoring Monterrey’s appeal as a destination for business, tourism, and global events.
