Low-cost Mexican carrier Viva Aerobus is launching several new non-stop flights from Guadalajara and Monterrey to cities around the U.S. starting later this year.
The announcement comes almost a year after the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reinstated Mexico’s Category 1 aviation safety rating, more than two years after it was downgraded to Category 2. Since the return of the Category 1 status, Mexican airlines have added multiple new services and routes to the U.S.

Airlines increase profits despite setbacks
According to the newspaper El Financiero, Viva Aerobus and competitor Volaris accumulated profits this year, despite setbacks related to engine overhaul issues and capacity reduction at Mexico City International Airport (AICM).
The report states that both airlines reported a joint profit of US $846 million from January to June 2024, compared to US $605 million of net profit last year.
