Company Overview
Viva Aerobus is a Mexican airline company that specializes in providing affordable air travel. The airline operates as a low-cost carrier, which means it keeps ticket prices low by offering basic service and charging extra for additional amenities like baggage and seat selection. The company is based in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.
History and Founding
Viva Aerobus was established in 2003 as a budget airline to make air travel more accessible to people in Mexico. The company began operations with a focus on serving routes that connected major Mexican cities at lower fares than traditional airlines.
Routes and Operations
The airline operates domestic flights within Mexico and also serves international routes to destinations in the United States, Central America, and the Caribbean. Viva Aerobus uses a fleet of modern aircraft and focuses on point-to-point flights rather than hub-and-spoke operations, which helps keep costs down.
Business Model
As a low-cost carrier, Viva Aerobus charges lower base fares than traditional airlines. Passengers can choose to add services like checked baggage, seat selection, and meals for additional fees. This allows customers who want basic transportation to fly cheaply, while those who want extra services can pay for them.
