Aeroméxico Flight to Seoul Returns to Mexico City After Windshield Rupture

The airline has not provided a detailed technical explanation to clarify what caused the windshield failure.

Overview

  • A Boeing 787-8 operating Aeroméxico flight AM090 reported a windshield rupture during the Mexico CitySeoul trip and the crew returned the plane to Mexico City for an emergency landing after a technical stop in Monterrey, according to passenger accounts.
  • Dozens of Mexican influencers, TV personalities and media figures were on board and many posted real-time videos and eyewitness accounts describing fear and the pilot’s announcement.
  • Passengers and multiple outlets reported no injuries or major complications on landing, and some travelers were rebooked later while others declined to continue the trip.
  • Independent flight tracking showed the same aircraft later leaving Mexico City, a movement outlets say indicates re‑accommodation or resumed service for some passengers.
  • A windshield rupture on a pressurized, long‑haul jet is treated as a serious safety issue and investigators and passengers are awaiting an official Aeroméxico statement and technical findings to explain the cause.
