Aeroméxico has redesigned its business class dining experience themed around modern Mexico, with new dining and glassware created in collaboration with NewTerritory, an aviation and hospitality design studio.
The collection features 15 pieces, including plates, bowls, glasses, and mugs, each of which is designed to reflect Mexican heritage using porcelain colours to represent terracotta and Oaxacan clay, and blue glassware to symbolise tequila bottles.
The dining ware has also been designed with weight in mind, overing lightweight and space-saving designs to support crew workload and aircraft efficiency.
“Over the last several years we have built consistent, modern hard products with beautiful cabins, great seats, and a refined brand image,” said Vice President Product and Onboard Services at Aeroméxico, Antonio Fernandez. “To complete this onboard concept, we needed to relaunch our soft products in a way that brings Mexico’s culture and hospitality to life. This new 15-piece collection designed with NewTerritory does exactly that. It reflects modern Mexico in the air, while also future-proofing our service moments and improving efficiency through smarter, lighter, and more sustainable design. It complements the work we’ve done on our crew uniforms, ensuring every detail of the Aeroméxico experience is part of one bigger, cohesive design story.”
“From the moment passengers step onboard, they are welcomed into a Mexico that respects its roots while presenting itself with confidence and warmth,” commented Nadja Orwell, Director of Client Partnerships at NewTerritory. “This wasn’t about decoration – it was about creating a dining experience worthy of the culture it represents. The design philosophy draws directly from the Milpa, celebrating harmony, sharing and informality. It reframes business class dining not as a transactional service, but as a cultural moment, one that reconnects a 90-year-old airline with the living, evolving spirit of modern Mexico.”
