Aeromexico Returns to Loreto

Travel to Baja to become easier again


Travel interests have in Baja California Sur have evidently provided enough guarantees to persuade Aeromexico to reinstate service to Loreto starting July 2 with expected daily jet service from San Diego and Mexico City. More than 30 years ago, Loreto was one of five destinations selected for major development by the Mexican government, which funds the basic infrastructure to lure private investors. Then, the anticipated development was straight tourism, but now residential communities for retiring baby boomers are also a big Loreto. A year ago, five carriers served Loreto, but with the economic meltdown, only Alaska Airlines remains with four flights a week. The restored Aeromexico service will make this pleasant, low-key part of Baja more accessible for visitors too.
