Aeromar increases the number of passengers they carry by 33%

The Mexican airline announced that in the first three months of 2018 it is carrying a third more passengers in comparison to the same period in 2017. This comes after the news that Aeromar transported 30% more passengers from 2016 to 2017.

This could be a result of Aeromar adding over 53 services to beach destinations in the final quarter of 2017, which were all additional routes on top of their existing schedule. CEO of Aeromar, Dieter Holtz, said that 2017 was a great success after the company successfully ventured into the tourism market.

Aeromar may be being rebranded as Avianca Mexico

Hernán Rincón, CEO of Avianca, has said that his airline aims to expand its presence in Mexico and Argentina. "We have found a possible entrance to Mexico through Aeromar, which is an existing regional airline and has the most precious thing that Mexico has to offer: slots at Mexico City”, he said. "At the moment we use interline and codesharing, but we want to go further. I do not know whether to buy, to ally or to merge. The idea is to convert that company into Avianca México”, he said.

Last December, Andrés Fabre, the Director General of Aeromar, said that his airline will not become a low-cost or ultra-low cost airline, but will offer a different service, and that the name of the company will continue until the shareholders decide otherwise. However, it seems that Avianca will decide if Aeromar continues to maintain its own brand name.

Aeromar looks to strengthen position

A Peruvian-born British airline executive temporarily moved to Mexico City recently to boost a foreign fleet, and McAllen is part of his plan. Avianca, the national airline of Colombia and part of the Star Alliance Network, recently purchased a 49 percent stake in Aeromar, a Mexican airline. Aeromar’s flight network is strictly domestic, but for one international route linking Mexico City and McAllen.

Aeromar’s direct flight to the Mexican capital has been in operation for nearly five years, but Aeromar didn’t start seriously marketing the route until two years ago. Ian Gillespie, an Avianca executive with 48 years experience in the airline business, lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but is stationed in Mexico City for the time being because of his new mission — integrating Aeromar into the Avianca flight network.

As far as McAllen goes, Aeromar is making a push, first targeting the holiday season. Aeromar is offering daily flights between McAllen and Mexico City for $168 one way and one free checked bag. Already, the offer is available for flights departing between Dec. 16 and Jan. 9, 2018. The daily flight departing McAllen during this stretch will be at 3:40 p.m., with the return flight departing Mexico City at 12:30 p.m. Flights on Aeromar also count toward the United Airlines Mileage Plus program, which has been the case in the past, but Aeromar now is actively promoting its United partnership. Gillespie plans to explore a possible code-sharing opportunity with United.

Aeromar has begun domestic flights between Mexico City - Monclova 

Launched 9 August, this becomes the latter airport’s first scheduled service since the then-named Continental Airlines ended its route from Houston Intercontinental in September 2008. Operating at a 5 x weekly frequency, Aeromar will fly the 869-kilometre airport pair on its fleet of ATR 42-500s when referring to OAG schedules, although the first service was carried out by one of the airline’s ATR 72-600s, as confirmed by Flightradar24.com data. 

Andrés Fabré, MD of Aeromar, said that this route will exploit the potential of a highly industrial region, and recognised the coordinated work carried out between the State Government, Coahuila businessmen and of course the airline. With this launch, Aeromar is now operating 17 routes from Mexico City this summer, on up to 185 weekly flights.

The same plane makes the return flight at 8:50 to Mexico City. Aeromar flights are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
