Viva Aerobus receives its 60th aircraft, an Airbus A321

Viva Aerobus received its 60th aircraft on June 20, an Airbus A321ceo, with a capacity to carry up to 240 passengers. The Mexican ultra-low-cost carrier received this aircraft at its headquarters located at Monterrey International Airport (MTY) after a long flight from France with several stopovers across the way. Let’s investigate further.

Viva Aerobus has received ten new planes between August 2021 and June 2022.

Viva Aerobus has been heavily increasing its fleet. It currently has 40 Airbus A320s and 20 Airbus A321s. Its fleet has an average age of five years old; it is Mexico’s youngest fleet and North America’s third-youngest fleet, the airline said in a statement.

Viva Aerobus’ fleet growth is in line with the airline’s growth plans for the coming years. The carrier added,

“In this regard, it is worth remembering that so far in 2022, Viva has already launched more than 15 new routes for sale. Just to mention a few examples, there are the five new services to/from Felipe Angeles International Airport; Guadalajara – Bogota; Mexico City (MEX)- Nuevo Laredo, among others; it also announced its restart of operations at Toluca Airport and has significantly increased the number of frequencies per week in destinations such as Cancun.”

Not only Viva Aerobus is heavily increasing its fleet, though. Both Volaris and Aeromexico are also adding new aircraft as they look to ramp up their operations following the COVID-19 crisis.
