Mexican LCCs Interjet and vivaaerobus report highest ever domestic market share in July despite 0.5% drop in traffic
Mexico’s domestic market continues to evolve and adjust to the loss last August of Mexicana and its various subsidiaries. Domestic traffic was up 1.2% in May, up 1.4% in June but down 0.5% in July. Interjet, which had less than 6% of the market in early 2007, has now emerged as the single biggest domestic airline with over 26% of the domestic market in July, its highest ever share.

However, AeroMexico and AeroMexico Connect combined still have about 40% of the domestic market, although this fell to 38% in July. Volaris (17%) ranks third, while vivaaerobus continues to grow its share of the market, reaching a record 13.5% in July. As a result, Mexico’s LCCs (Interjet, vivaaerobus and Volaris) now have a record 57% of the domestic market.
