Avion Express, a globally leading narrow-body ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) operator, and part of Avia Solutions Group, is beginning preparations to obtain an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) in Mexico, and as part of this, the company is starting the recruitment process for the CEO of its Mexican ACMI start-up airline. Establishment of the Mexican AOC is part of a strategic initiative to expand the company\u2019s footprint in key growth markets of Latin America.<\/p>\n

Mexico offers strong potential for this expansion. According to the country\u2019s National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), more than 45 million international tourists visited Mexico last year\u2014the highest number since 2019. But the demand for flights isn\u2019t just driven by tourism. Air travel within Mexico plays a crucial role in connecting people across the country. In 2024 alone, more than 830,000 flights took place within Mexico, and local airlines served 596 city pairs, according to the Latin American & Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA).<\/p>\n

ALTA also notes that in 2024, the average person in Mexico took 0.85 flights, which is significantly higher than the average of 0.62 flights per person across Latin America and the Caribbean. Between 2017 and 2024, domestic air travel in Mexico grew by 4.4% per year, while international travel increased by 3.7% annually.<\/p>\n
