Mexican low-cost airlines Volaris and Viva agree to merge in 2026, pending approval, to expand affordable travel despite U.S. route losses and potential Aeromexico opposition.
Volaris and Viva, two major Mexican low-cost airlines, have agreed to merge into a new airline group, aiming to expand affordable air travel across Mexico and internationally.
The merger, pending regulatory approval and expected to close in 2026, will maintain both airlines’ separate brands, operations, and operating certificates.
The move is intended to boost connectivity, reduce costs, and strengthen financial stability.
The deal comes amid U.S. regulatory actions that canceled over 13 routes for Mexican airlines, prompting Mexico to offer more flight slots to American carriers.
The combined group could face opposition from Aeromexico, Mexico’s main full-service airline.
