Aeromexico and Delta to offer new Detroit-Leon route
Delta Air Lines and its partner Aeromexico, Mexico's global airline, will launch new nonstop service between Detroit and Leon, Mexico, beginning April 30.
The state of Guanajuato, where Leon is situated, is known for its significant industrial activity, with strong automotive, leather and footwear, agroindustry, tourism, and pharmaceutical sectors, among others. Detroit, the Motor City, is the center of the U.S. automobile industry and home of leading auto companies.

Interesting, anyone know what type of aircraft? And how it will be split between DL/AM?
My employer recently opened a plant near there (Celaya), and I assume I’ll be going there at some point. (Actually it’s closer to QRO, but if BJX gets a nonstop from here, that definitely changes the calculus in its favor.)

Another legendary Michigan business name, Gerber, has had a packing plant in Queretaro for many years. Queretaro is near Celaya and Leon.

Delta tried ATL-QRO maybe ten years ago. It lasted very briefly. Maybe with the growth of industry around QRO and the AM JV such a flight could work today.
