New low-fare carrier VivaAerobus expects to transport 3.8 million passengers this year, 60 percent more than last year, and plans to add another eight or 10 jets to its fleet of Boeing 737s. This would double its size and require an investment of $30 million. Based in Monterrey, VivaAerobus operates 50 routes, including two to the United States. This year it plans to add another six — and possibly more — flights to the United States from Monterrey and Guadalajara as well as seven additional domestic routes out of Guadalajara and Mexico City.
