American Airlines launches nonstop flights from Oklahoma City to Cancun starting November 8

The Oklahoma City Airport Trust meeting on March 27, 2025, highlighted significant developments for the city's airport, particularly the announcement of new international flight services. Scott Key, the assistant director of the airport, reported that American Airlines will begin offering nonstop flights to Cancun, Mexico, starting November 8, 2025. This new service will allow travelers to clear customs in Oklahoma City, thanks to the nearing completion of a federal inspection station staffed by U.S. Customs.

Key emphasized the importance of this milestone for both the airport and the city, encouraging residents to purchase tickets when sales begin on March 31. Flights will operate every Saturday until April 4, 2026.

In addition to the flight announcement, the meeting featured an introduction to the airport's Landside Operations division by Eric Baer, the Landside Operations Manager. Baer presented his team and provided an overview of their responsibilities at the airport, although specific details about their operations were not disclosed in the transcript.

Overall, the meeting underscored the airport's growth and the introduction of new services that aim to enhance travel options for Oklahoma City residents. The upcoming international flights are expected to boost local tourism and connectivity.
