Mexico's flag carrier is to launch a new route from Mexico City to Cali, Colombia. The new route will be flown four times a week, with the first flight scheduled for May 16, on a Boeing 737-700 with capacity for 124 passengers.
Cali becomes the carrier's third destination in Colombia in addition to Bogotá and Medellín, which opened in 2010 and 2015 respectively. Cali is Colombia's second largest city by size, third largest by population, and has one of the country's fastest growing economies. The airport that serves the city, the Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO) is Colombia's third largest airport in terms of passengers (transporting 3,422,919 in 2010) and fourth in cargo.
