Aeromexico Celebrates 80 Years as Mexico’s Flagship Carrier
Aeromexico Celebrates 80 Years as Mexico’s Flagship Carrier
— During this time, the airline has been committed to consistently providing world-class service to its customers with one of the world’s most modern fleets.
— The company is especially grateful to its passengers for their
preference and loyalty over the last 80 years.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Aeromexico is celebrating its 80th anniversary as Mexico’s flagship carrier and thanks its passengers, vendors, commercial partners, airport groups, trade unions and employees, who have placed their trust in the company over eight decades to position the brand as Mexico’s leading airline.

Since its beginnings in 1934, when Aeromexico (formerly Aeronaves de Mexico) flew its maiden flight between Mexico City and Acapulco, the carrier has been committed to providing the best services and maintaining continuous quality improvement processes to benefit its customers.
Over the past 80 years, Aeromexico has operated the best fleet with emblematic jet airliners, such as Bristol Britannia, Douglas DC, Constellation, McDonnell Douglas MD, Embraer and Boeing, to name a few. Currently, in keeping with tradition since its creation, Aeromexico has one of the world’s most modern fleets with an average age of 8.8 years, and is proud to operate the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, hailed as the airplane that revolutionized the aviation industry.
The carrier has obtained many achievements and rewards along the way. For half a century, the airline was the carrier of choice selected by the Presidents of Mexico; it carried Pope John Paul II on his first trip to Mexico, and was the first Mexican airline to fly to New York, Madrid, Sao Paulo and Tokyo. It was also the first to offer an all-inclusive travel package program, known as Gran Plan, the first to implement a passenger loyalty program in Latin America, known as Club Premier, the first in Latin America to be a founding member of a global airline alliance —SkyTeam—, and the first Mexican airline in which a global carrier, Delta Air Lines, buys equity.
Aeromexico has always been known for its unrelenting pursuit of cutting edge technology. As such, it will soon become the first airline in Latin America to provide inflight Wi-Fi through a partnership with Panasonic and Gogo.
Aeromexico has also become the Mexican airline carrying the highest customer traffic volume in the domestic market and the leader in the international segment, as it serves 44 destinations in Mexico and 35 internationally, and carried more than 11.5 million passengers between January and August 2014.
As part of the carrier’s celebration, Aeromexico CEO Andres Conesa published a special appreciation statement, noting that “The experience and career paths of all our employees bear testimony to the fact that Aeromexico is in the hands of the most valuable people in Mexican aviation. The value of our human capital is the basis of our prestige, and our customers are the reason for our existence.”
To those that have chosen Aeromexico as their carrier of choice over the years and to those flying with the airline for the very first time, the carrier expresses its gratitude and reiterates its commitment to being the best airline, uniting all Mexicans and Mexico with the world.

Hispanics Are Optimistic about Their Futures, Financially Motivated to Protect Their Families
Hispanics Are Optimistic about Their Futures, Financially Motivated to Protect Their Families
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hispanics are fairly optimistic about their futures, believing they have the power to make their dreams a reality and that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed, according to the Elements of Success Study, commissioned by Northwestern Mutual. At the same time, Hispanics are financially motivated by the need to be prepared for the unexpected, so that their families will be protected.
The study suggests there are definitive differences in how Hispanics view their education, career and finances.
In terms of education, Hispanics appear to place greater emphasis than the general U.S. population on learning through doing. They are the most likely of all ethnic groups surveyed to indicate they have not yet achieved their career/job goals.
Like most Americans, Hispanics perceive being debt free to be the number-one component of financial success. However, family enters heavily into Hispanics’ financial motivation: they are more likely than other Americans to mention paying for their children’s college, having an emergency fund, and providing for their families in case of death as components of financial success. Yet, only 16 percent of Hispanics currently are using a financial advisor, compared to 21 percent of the total U.S. population.
“While Hispanics’ desire to protect their families for the future is an extremely admirable long-term goal, financial security rarely happens by accident,” said Chris Meece, director of multicultural markets at Northwestern Mutual. “Working hand-in-hand with a trained financial advisor is the best way for all Americans to ensure they have the financial security to close the gap between dreams and reality for themselves and their families.”
According to the study:
- Education: Hispanics consider the major components of educational success to be gaining life skills to achieve goals, earning a college degree and being a lifelong learner. Compared to the general U.S. population, they are more likely to define educational success as taking advantage of extra-curricular activities to gain skills and getting the best grades.
- Career: Hispanic Americans index very high on service jobs, which may explain why they are far more likely to look at their employment as a job rather than a career and to define career success as doing the type of work they want to do. Hispanics place more emphasis on obtaining recognition from their boss and peers than does the general population.
- Financial Success: Only 15 percent of Hispanics believe they are either extremely or very successful financially. They are less likely than other Americans to do research on their own on the topic of financial planning, and are less likely to mention owning their own home and saving enough for a comfortable retirement as the definition of financial success.
Northwestern Mutual offers a number of tools designed specifically to help Hispanic clients and their families achieve financial security, including an informational microsite in English and Spanish (http://es.northwesternmutual.com/) and a variety of Spanish-language materials and videos on financial planning, available through Northwestern Mutual Financial Representatives.

EXECUTIVE QUOTES:
Chris Meece, Director of Multicultural Markets
