History

On 15th September 1934, Aeronaves de México was established by Antonio Diaz Lombardo. From 1934 to 1988, the company has been operating under this name, expanding it network to 21 Mexican cities and 2 in the U.S., as well as the fleet. The economic crisis of 1982 has lad the company to bankruptcy and the suspension of operations. Then on October 1st 1988, Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. was created, using the trading name Aeromexico and the emblem of the Eagle Warrior, followed by a series of improvements in punctuality, trustworthiness, service quality and care in the use of its equipment. The next 5-year-perios witnessed the most serious challenge in the airline’s history, in which the Gulf War of 1991 and severe financial crisis of 1994 have resulted in a restructuring of the company. The creation of the International Air Transport Corporation (CINTRA – acronym in Spanish) as a holding company for the shares of various air transport companies, but mainly for Aeromexico and Mexicana, has helped to create competitive and geographical advantages for Aeromexico. Today, the company has a structure of three market segments—businesses, beaches and borders—allowed it to better respond to client needs and offer more competitive products.
