Mexico’s Mexicana Airlines is now operating daily flights from Washington “Dulles” to Cancun.

Mexicos Mexicano Airlines is now operating daily flights from Washington (Dulles) to Cancun. The route not only brings Mexico’s most popular resort area closer to the U.S. capital, but also allows for easy connections to several points in Central and South America as well as within Mexico.

The decision to open the route was made after market studies revealed that traffic between Washington and Cancun has grown 12% since 2005 and that 60% of all passengers flying from Washington prefer Dulles. At one point some years ago Mexicana flew from Mexico City to Baltimore/Washington, but since then new owners have taken over the airline.
