A recent study indicates that Mexico’s new, supposedly low-fare airlines no longer offer bargain prices. Interjet, Volaris and VivaAerobus took off only about five or six years ago. All benefitted when financial problems grounded Mexicana and Aviacsa. All have been ordering more jets, adding routes and charging higher prices. Some argue that taxes, which can add as much as 50 percent to the cost of a ticket, are to blame for the high cost of a ticket. Meanwhile, prospering Aeroméxico has added a fourth daily flight to its Mexico City-New York City (JFK) route.
