KinkaidAlum Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 This is the Ryanair of Mexico. Sometimes flights cancel if enough seats aren't sold but is a great alternative to united. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
