American Airlines Adds Second Daily Flight to Hermosillo

PHOENIX (August 8, 2019) American Airlines has announced they are adding a second daily flight from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to Hermosillo, Mexico. Service will begin on December 18. Flights will leave Hermosillo at 9 a.m, arriving in Phoenix at 10:19 a.m. then depart Phoenix at 7:14 p.m. and arrive in Hermosillo at 8:43 p.m.

Like American’s current flight to Hermosillo, this flight will be served by a Bombardier CRJ-700 containing 70 seats. The flight will be operated by SkyWest.

The extra daily flight to Hermosillo will provide an economic boost to both Arizona and Mexico. With a strong trade and tourism partnership, the flight will provide a vital connection between the two cities. In fact, the economic impact of international flights on the local community is more than $3 billion dollars.

Earlier this year, American Airlines announced it would begin nonstop service from Phoenix to Chihuahua. Phoenix Sky Harbor already offers service to nine other cities in Mexico. Phoenix Sky Harbor also offers service to more than 100 destinations across the U.S., as well as Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
