· MEX-JFK is operated daily and with tickets starting from USD$100.

· In the first year of operation of this route, more than 135 million seats will be offered.

We were delighted to attend a recent event at the Consulate General of Mexico in New York. Viva Aerobus, México’s the ultra-low-cost airline, celebrated the start of its route Mexico City - New York, a new strategic bridge that accentuates the accessibility between both cities.

The inaugural ceremony was led by Diego Gómez Pickering, Consul General of Mexico in New York; Alfonso Sumano, Exceutive Director of Mexico´s Tourism Board; Huntley Lawrence, Director of Aviation at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey; and Juan Carlos Zuazua, CEO of Viva Aerobus, who has been invited for direct formal review and interview. They recognized the incentive to connectivity, tourism and business represented by this new route.

The Consul Diego Gomez Pickering mentioned that the arrival of Viva Aerobus to New York is a stimulus to the commercial and tourist relations between Mexico and the United States. "We are confident that this new route will become a catalyst for the increase of US visitors to Mexico and vice versa", he said.

The route has a daily frequency, offering more than 135 thousand seats in the first year of operation, and with ticket prices starting from USD$100 dollars. This connection is another step in the sustained expansion of Viva Aerobus, based on its commitment to offer low prices in order to make possible for more people to fly to a greater number of destinations.

Alfonso Sumano, Executive Director of Mexico´s Tourism Board, mentioned that another value of this new flight is its contribution to keep Mexico as one of the international tourism powers. "This connection gives Americans more options to visit Mexico. Besides, it foments an economic spill in the country by generating savings in transportation, savings that can be used in more experiences in Mexico". He recalled that Mexico has consolidated itself as the Latin American country that receives the most tourists and in 2017; Mexico ranked as the 6thmost visited country in the world.

“We are delighted to have Viva Aerobus expand its service to John F. Kennedy International Airport, adding affordable, convenient, non-stop flights from Mexico City”, said Huntley Lawrence, Director of Aviation at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. “This new route is key to our continued business with the airline and we look forward to ensuring even greater connectivity for the people of Mexico”, he added.

"Mexico City - New York is a highly requested route, thus a relevant connection for both countries. Therefore, the inauguration of a new flight option is always great news for the benefit of travelers and the industry", said Armando Subirats, Operation Deputy General Director of the Mexico City International Airport.

Finally, Juan Carlos Zuazua, CEO of Viva Aerobus, said that the airline arrived in New York, for the first time in its history, to offer quality air transportation, backed by 12 years of operation in Mexico and the growing preference of the passengers.

"We landed to serve New York´s travelers with Viva´s insignias: low prices, customer focus, personalized trips, operational efficiency, advanced technology and one of the youngest fleets in the world", concluded Zuazua.

Passengers can purchase their tickets on the official website of Viva Aerobus: https://www.vivaaerobus.com/en or calling the Call Center 0181 82 150 150.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
