Notable history

Founded 2005 by Enrique Beltranena and others; began service in March 2006. The largest Mexican carrier by passenger volume. Operated only domestic flights initially; expanded to the US (notably TIJ–LAX cross-border via Cross Border Xpress) and Latin America. Indigo Partners (which also owns Frontier and Wizz Air) is a major shareholder.

About this profile

Reference data (codes, headquarters, founding year, alliance, ownership) is curated from each carrier's own published materials, the US DOT BTS Form 41 filings, and SEC filings for publicly-listed carriers. Fleet rosters reflect the active in-service fleet at the time of the most recent data refresh; aircraft on order are not counted toward fleet totals. Average fleet age is calculated from the same active fleet.

Hubs and focus cities are sourced from the carrier's own destinations or about pages. Loyalty program partner lists are drawn from each program's published partner roster.

This profile is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the US DOT BTS Form 41 release schedule.
