Monterry based Vivaaerobus has announced its first routes into Mexico City, with a planned three-times daily rotation into the capital city from Monterrey and Guadalajara.

Vivaaerobus currently operates 319 weekly flights across its network with its largest markets being:

• Monterrey - 34% of its services
• Guadalajara- 12% of its services

The carrier will face significant competition on these two trunk routes into Mexico City, with several airlines operating both sectors. From Monterrey, VivaAerobus will face competition from:

• Aeromexico- 98 weekly flights
• Iberia (extension flight) 19 weekyl flights
• Mexicana - 72 weekly flights
• Interjet - 33 weekly flights

From Guadalajara it will also face the same carriers with the following frequencies:

• Aeromexico- 98 weekly flights
• Iberia (extension 12 weekly flights)
• Mexicana- 84 weekly flights
• Interjet- 35 weekly flights

Fellow LCC Volaris operates out of Toluca, the low-cost alternative in Mexico City so Vivaaerobus will face competition from alliance alligned carriers in Mexicana and Aeromexico, whilst going head-to-head with the only other LCC in Mexico, Interjet.
