Delta Airlines will launch a new flight to Cancun, Mexico, on Dec. 16, its first new international flight since the airline relaunched service to Paris in 2022.
Delta is matching the weekly, seasonal frequency to Cancun that its rival, American Airlines, established. American launched its Cancun flight on Dec. 9.
The Delta flight will run from Dec. 16 through April 6.
The flight times have changed since the new route was announced. The outbound flight leaves at 6:22 a.m. and arrives in Cancun at 9:45 a.m. The return flight leaves Cancun at 10:45 a.m. and arrives in Cincinnati at 2:08 p.m.
CVG has seen its nonstop Cancun flights 74% full from 2022 to 2023, according to Bureau of Transportation statistics compiled by the Business Courier.
With Delta and American’s launch, CVG will have five carriers offering Cancun service sometime during the year, with Frontier Airlines and two vacation carriers, Vacation Express and Viva Aerobus, rounding out the lineup.
