Airlines of Mexico | Mexican Airlines
This section features airlines registered in Mexico.
The Mexican airline industry is being overhauled as flag carriers Aeromexico and Mexicana are now receiving competition from start up air carriers including Avolar. Deregulation has now spread south to Mexico, opening up competition, sending fares downward, and helping to increase passenger traffic.
Aerolitoral — Considered to be Mexico’s largest regional air carrier.
Aeromexico — One of two Mexican air carriers, Aeromexico was founded in 1934, but nationalized 25 years later. Currently, the carrier is under pressure to compete with low-cost carriers that have entered the market thanks to government deregulation of the airline industry.
Avolar — Part of the initial wave of low-cost air carriers, Avolar currently operates strictly within Mexico with plans of adding U.S. service in the near future.
Click Mexicana — Fight fire with fire is how the expression goes. So, Mexicana has its own version of a discount carrier, an airline that was originally called Aerocaribe.
Interjet — Based in Toluca, Interjet started flying in June 2006 with flights across Mexico.
Mexicana — The oldest airline in North America, Mexicana along with Aeromexico are both considered to be Mexico’s flag carriers. In 2005, the airline was privatized.
Volaris — Headquartered in Toluca, Volaris took flight in March 2005 and serves cities across Mexico.
