HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - AeroMexico, the global airline of Latin
America, has announced that it is the organizing sponsor of the 5th Annual
La Cumbre Golf Tournament on September 8, 2009, to benefit Just a Drop, a
charity dedicated to bringing children and their families clean, accessible
water in communities across the world that need it most. The golf
tournament will be held at the Trump International Golf Club, home of the
Puerto Rico Open 2009 PGA Golf Tournament. It will kick off La Cumbre: The
Americas' Travel Industry Summit (www.lacumbre.com/en/) on September 9-11
in San Juan, Puerto Rico. AeroMexico is also a Gold sponsor of La Cumbre.

Frank Galan, Vice President, U.S. Division, said, "AeroMexico is proud to
support Just a Drop by sponsoring this event because bringing clean
drinking water to children and their families will help save thousands of
lives around the world. With unsafe water being the number one killer of
children under five internationally, keeping people healthy is also the
first step in breaking the cycle of poverty and creating brighter futures
for them. As a global airline, we are committed to supporting worthwhile
causes like Just a Drop that improve lives in countries around the world."

Participation in the golf tournament will be available exclusively to La
Cumbre attendees and designated AeroMexico guests. More than 450 travel
industry delegates and media representatives and 250 exhibitors are
expected to attend La Cumbre, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
They include top travel industry wholesalers, tour operators and retail
travel agencies in the Americas who purchase products and services used by
travelers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin
America.

AeroMexico will waive the golf registration fee for the first 50 people who
sign up by August 31 for the La Cumbre Golf Tournament. Golfers may obtain
more information about the tournament and register to participate by
contacting Giancarlo Mulinelli at gmulinelli@aeromexico.com.

Other golf tournament sponsors include Las Vegas Convention and Visitors
Authority, Hertz, Burger King, Gran Meliá Golf Resort Puerto Rico, Pete
Garcia International (PGI) and Trump International Golf Club.

Just a Drop, an international non-profit established in 1998 and supported
heavily by the travel industry, raises funds to bring clean, accessible
drinking water to children and their families around the world. The
organization supports water, sanitation and health projects, which include
building protected wells, installing hand pumps and carrying out education
programs in local communities where the need is greatest. These efforts
mean children are well enough to go to school, mothers don't need to walk
miles in search of clean water and fathers are healthy enough to work.
Just a Drop also helps in disaster relief when the most basic human need is
drinking water. To date, the organization has brought safe drinking water
to more than 900,000 people in 28 countries. More information is available
at www.justadrop.org.
