bridge between our capital regions and their governmental, cultural,commercial, educational and scientific institutions.”
Starting December 1st, Mexicana 864 will depart Mexico City at 5:40 p.m. each day and arrive at BWI at 10:55 p.m. Beginning December 2nd, Mexicana 865 will operate non-stop from Baltimore to Mexico City, departing at 8:00 a.m. and arriving in Mexico City at 11:55 a.m. The route will be operated with
Airbus A318 aircraft configured to comfortably seat 12 in Executive Class and 88 in the main cabin.

and our BWI-MEX routing is more convenient to travelers to and from throughout Maryland and the District of Columbia. At the same time, we will attract substantial leisure travel, particularly from the fast-growing Hispaniccommunity residing in the East Coast.”
