American Airlines Expands Mexico Access with Hassle-Free Direct Flights from Dallas to Tampico – Travel And Tour
American Airlines is set to expand its presence in Mexico by introducing a new direct route in the first quarter of 2025. Starting March 5th, the airline will offer direct flights from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Tampico International Airport (TAM). Operated by Envoy Air under the American Eagle regional brand, the flights will utilize the Embraer E170 aircraft. Bookings for this new route will open on September 16th, 2024.
Currently, there are no direct flights between Dallas and Tampico, as airlines like Viva Aerobus, United Airlines, and Mesa Airlines require a stopover. American Airlines’ new direct route will significantly enhance travel options for passengers, providing a seamless connection between Dallas and Tampico. The new service will increase the total number of Mexican destinations served by American Airlines to 31. This year, the airline has already added Tulum and Veracruz to its growing list of destinations in Mexico.
American Airlines, including its regional brand American Eagle, currently operates flights to 30 cities in Mexico, including popular destinations such as Cancun, Mexico City, and Puerto Vallarta. The addition of Tampico reflects the airline’s commitment to serving the robust leisure market in Mexico. In 2023, American Airlines operated 63,268 flights between the United States and Mexico, carrying 9.74 million passengers and covering over 10.11 billion available seat miles (ASMs).
Envoy Air, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group, will operate the new Dallas-Tampico route. Using the Embraer E170, the aircraft features a configuration of six first-class reclining seats, 16 economy plus seats, and 48 standard seats. This setup offers a comfortable travel experience with additional legroom for economy plus passengers.
This new direct route not only strengthens American Airlines’ network in Mexico but also provides travelers with a convenient option for exploring Tampico and its surrounding areas.
