After two years of an aggressive expansion in Mexico, the signing Delta Airlines conviritió our country at its best international market. After that, in 2005, the third largest airline in the United States came only four Mexican cities, its wings expanded with such force that, just over two years later, is about to multiplicate this offer to users.

In his office, where the sun penetrates delicately flick for each of the miniature aircraft designs that comprise the fleet of Delta, Alberto Porragas, commercial director of the airline for Mexico, says that this country will bet everything.
“In less than three years we spent to operate from four to 19 cities, offering a wide connectivity. Now, after our historic expansion, a strategy is now consolidating our markets, “he says smiling.

Thus, with the operation so far of 256 weekly flights, Mexico is the largest market for Delta Airlines, only after the United States. Since 2006, Delta became the fastest growing airline in Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean and Latin America.

Much of this expansion took place in the heavens Mexicans. They arrive only to airports in the country: the Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and Cancun, just three years ago, Delta now prevailing in our beach destinations and the biggest cities in the country such as Acapulco, Cozumel, Culiacan, La Paz, Loreto, Los Cabos, Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Zihuatanejo, Leon, Queretaro, Torreon, Zacatecas and Los Mochis.

“There are 19 destinations to which Delta connects with the United States, which benefits greatly to the economic spilled leaving international tourism in Mexico,” explains Porragas.

But now, “after the boom of the previous two years, it was time to consolidate,” says commercial director of Delta.

“We are confident that we cover the most important cities in Mexico, because they are where we have found more demand. Maybe we have a few more (cities) to explore, but the depth study before opening a new operation, “he said in an interview while directs his gaze toward the sky reflected in a big picture.

“From now on, just open a new flight from the needs of demand. That is, since our main objective is not expandiéndonos continue. We are the second airline in Mexico in terms of international operations, which puts us in a privileged position, “and to join their hands and interlink their fingers meditates:” We must consolidate our customers. ”

Delta plans to modernize the interiors of the entire international fleet to make the experience of travellers into something more comfortable for international customers. This includes a product Business Elite renovated and the introduction of modernized Coach class on international routes.

In addition, the new business plan for the airline around the world will be expanding international sales.

“In Mexico we had a good opportunity to grow and take, but we are also in a global project in which we want to try new routes. Now we are looking to expand into Africa and Asia, “he says.

However, the business plan also envisages launching new routes to Europe and Central America, including “some strategies may return to play Mexico,” said regarding the possibility that Delta has operations in a new Mexican destination.

“Our current expansion strategy is to simply cease to be a domestic airline and a leader in the international destinations. Mexico is and will remain part of these plans, “stresses Porragas.

The extensive current fleet of Delta Airlines will allow rapid growth thanks to its hubs located in Atlanta and New York in United States airports from which the airline offers multiple options to travel around the world.

In an international environment where it is not yet erased the shadow of terrorism and the price of fuel continues to rise, the future not only Delta but the rest of the airlines, would appear to be in turmoil area where only the strongest survive.

“Terrorism is always a threat, but it is a problem whose solution is beyond our reach. The same happens with the high price of fuel, we can not control (…) but we are already taking action on it, “says commercial director of Delta Airlines in Mexico.

Given the encouraging outlook slightly, the number three American airline is also trying to be more efficient in its operation.

“One example is the redeployment of our aircraft and the changing patterns of our flights,” he explains.

However, economic difficulties have worsened for Delta Airlines worldwide, mainly due to the escalating oil prices, which recently offered voluntary severance to 30 thousand of its 47 thousand workers in the United States.

In addition, the company has confirmed that American cut two thousand jobs, of which 700 correspond to the address. In recent days the airline has been thwarted a merger agreement with its rival Northwest Airline Corp..

The company, a partner of Air France-KLM in the commercial alliance SkyTeam, managed to get ahead of a bankruptcy two years ago to avoid merging with another of the major companies in the country, US Airways.

Among other measures that Delta Airlines will carry out to address the increased costs of crude oil, is the reduction by five percent of the flights operated in the United States, for which the airline temporarily withdraw from service between 35 and 45 aircraft.
The American airline says that our country is its best international market and works to continue on this path for several years
