Aeroméxico with its Mexico City hub and the low-cost carriers Volaris and Viva Aerobus shape one of the largest aviation markets in Latin America.
10 airlines
Scheduled airlines with a hub and connecting flights – usually on short-, medium- and long-haul routes.
Aeroméxico
AM / AMX
Mexico’s network airline with its hub in Mexico City: a founding member of SkyTeam, joint venture partner of Delta and a regular guest in Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam, London and Rome with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Mexicana de Aviación
MX / MXA
One of the oldest airlines in the world: Mexicana flew from 1921 to August 2010, shaped Mexican aviation with the Comet, 727 and colorful Airbus tails – and has flown again since December 2023 as a state-owned domestic airline with Embraer E2s.
Cheap point-to-point flights, often with a single-type fleet, many bases and short turnaround times.
Interjet
4O / AIJ
Historic Mexican airline: started in Toluca in 2005, grew with generous seat pitch and an Airbus fleet, first Western customer of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 – and grounded in December 2020.
Viva Aerobus
VB / VIV
Mexican low-cost airline from Monterrey: launched in 2006 with Boeing 737-300s, today an all-Airbus fleet of A320s and A321s – operating under the short name Viva since 2024.
Volaris
Y4 / VOI
Mexico’s busiest airline flies a pure Airbus A320 family fleet as an ultra-low-cost carrier, links Mexico closely with the US and has its own subsidiaries in Costa Rica and El Salvador.
Airlines focused on vacation destinations – in scheduled service and for tour operators.
Short routes with turboprops and regional jets, often as feeders to the big hubs.
Aeromar
VW / TAO
Historic regional airline from Mexico: founded in 1987, flew ATR turboprops from Mexico City for about 35 years, closely tied to United – and grounded in February 2023 after heavy debts.

Aeroméxico’s regional subsidiary flies Embraer 190s under AM flight numbers between Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and many smaller destinations – formerly also E170s, ERJ 145s and Saab 340s.
All-cargo airlines, cargo subsidiaries and express services with their own freighters.
AeroUnion
6R / TNO
Mexican all-cargo airline from Mexico City: for over two decades it flew Airbus A300 and Boeing 767 freighters between Mexico and the US, and since 2025 it operates as Avianca Cargo México.
