Viva Aerobus Airlines

VivaAerobus has been flying between IAH and Monterrey since 2010. This Fall, they will expand by adding a new nonstop flight (4 times a week) to Guadalajara. Ole!

 

Rumor has it that the low cost airline backed by RyanAir has applied for the IAH-Cancun route as well.

 

In other Mexico news, AeroMexico will add a 5th nonstop between IAH and Mexico City.

"The new nonstop flight to Queretaro, which begins on Dec. 2, will be offered four days per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Queretaro be the airline's fifth nonstop connection from IAH to Mexico.

Also starting in December, Viva Aerobus will increase the number of flights it offers from Houston to four of its popular destinations:
  • IAH-Leon/Bajio will increase from four flights per week to five flights per week.
  • IAH-Guadalajara will increase from four flights per week to daily service.
  • IAH-Mexico City will increase from six flights per week to daily service. IAH is the only U.S. airport that has a direct flight to Mexico City's new Felipe Angeles International Airport, according to Houston Airports.
  • IAH-Monterrey will increase from 13 flights per week to 19 flights per week."

It really should be taken as a great sign that VB is expanding service with the new international gates about to open as a sign that the higher fees associated with the additional gates are not deterring service from a ULCC. It also says everything about the strength of the Mexican business market to Houston, which is way, way stronger than it was even 10 years ago. Houston has become front-of-mind in Mexican business in a way that it wasn’t even in 2015. It’s no mistake the first US destination connected to NLU was IAH.
