Growth in Baja California

With the addition of flights to Mexicali, the airline will also reaffirm its dominance in Monterrey, one of its main hubs. It is currently the largest operator at the airport of the capital city of Nuevo Leon. From there it maintains a network of thirty domestic routes and another seven international routes.

In addition, the new connection will allow it to expand its presence in Baja California and northwest Mexico. The company already operates in Tijuana (TIJ), another of its six bases, from where it offers air connections to eleven destinations.
