Mexico Aviation Market Trends
The Mexico aviation market is undergoing a period of strong transformation as airlines adjust to rising passenger and cargo volumes, environmental commitments, and ongoing infrastructure constraints. Despite these pressures, the industry continues to record steady expansion, supported by fleet modernization, low-cost carrier (LCC) growth, and increasing air freight activity.
According to the latest Mexico aviation market report, the sector’s recovery has surpassed pre-pandemic levels, with airlines focusing on efficiency, cost control, and sustainability to remain competitive.
Modern Fleets Defining Mexico Aviation Market Trends
One of the biggest drivers of Mexico aviation market growth is the transition to next-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft. Carriers such as Aeroméxico, Volaris, and Viva Aerobus are upgrading their fleets with advanced models like the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX, which reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%.
In 2024, Aeroméxico invested $2.1 billion in 25 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, while Volaris expanded its fleet to 135 planes. These efforts align with global sustainability targets under the International Civil Aviation Organization’s CORSIA program, reflecting major Mexico aviation market trends toward cleaner and more efficient operations.
Low-Cost Carriers Strengthening Market Position
Low-cost carriers are now the backbone of the domestic aviation industry, driving affordability and accessibility. Volaris and Viva Aerobus together account for nearly 68% of all domestic passenger traffic as of mid-2025. By operating from secondary airports like Felipe Ángeles International (AIFA) and Toluca, these airlines offer fares up to 60% lower than legacy carriers.
International expansion is also accelerating. In 2024, Viva Aerobus posted a 22% increase in U.S.–Mexico passenger traffic, particularly on high-demand routes such as Guadalajara–Los Angeles and Monterrey–Houston, where load factors exceeded 90%. This growth highlights the strong for affordable cross-border travel.
However, ongoing airport congestion in Mexico City and Cancún, along with customs bottlenecks in regional hubs, remains a key challenge to further expansion.
Air Cargo Driving Mexico Aviation Market Growth
Air freight is emerging as a powerful growth engine for the industry. The nMexico aviation market demandearshoring movement by U.S. manufacturers and the continued boom in e-commerce have created a surge in air cargo traffic. According to the Mexico aviation market report, air freight volumes in 2024 rose 31% year-over-year, led by electronics, automotive, and pharmaceutical shipments.
Cargo operators such as MAS Air and Aeroméxico Cargo have expanded their fleets with Boeing 767-300F aircraft, while Amazon Mexico and Mercado Libre now manage dedicated air operations. Around 45% of online orders in Mexico are now delivered by air—a testament to robust Mexico aviation market demand in the logistics sector.
To support this momentum, the government is investing $1.4 billion in new cargo-focused infrastructure, including a cold-chain logistics hub in Guadalajara.
Technology and Sustainability Leading the Way
Digitalization and environmental initiatives are at the heart of Mexico’s aviation transformation. Airlines are implementing biometric boarding, AI-based revenue management, and digital check-in systems to improve passenger experience and operational efficiency. Aeroméxico’s facial recognition system, for instance, has reduced check-in times by 70% at Benito Juárez International Airport.
The launch of Mexico’s first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) facility in Veracruz marks another milestone. The plant aims to blend 10% SAF into national aviation fuel by 2033, reinforcing the nation’s environmental goals and strengthening long-term Mexico aviation market trends.
