Aerovías de México Contigo S.A. de C.V. operating as Aeroméxico Contigo (Aeroméxico with you) is a Grupo Aeroméxico "airline within an airline" operating select US and Mexican routes from its hubs at Guadalajara and Mexico City. Their fleet consists of all-economy Boeing 737-800 aircraft, allowing them to compete with low-cost airlines, such as Volaris. It also serves as a feeder airline for mainline Aeroméxico and Aeroméxico Connect on the most popular and busiest routes.
History
On 17 June 2013, Grupo Aeroméxico announced that it would launch a new subsidiary to help with their busiest international and domestic routes. The airline started with four wet-leased Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Their inaugural flight was on 1 October 2013 on the Guadalajara-Los Angeles route.
In 2015, Contigo launched flights to LA/Ontario, Fresno, and several other smaller, secondary airports in Northern California.
Starting in 2016, to compete against other Mexican low-cost airlines, Contigo began eliminating free hot meals and checked baggage. Contigo's fares and costs tend to be significantly lower than those of mainline Aeroméxico, often rivaling those of Volaris and Interjet Airlines.
