Aeroméxico has a 41.8 percent of the Mexican aviation market, followed by Interjet, with 20 percent, Volaris, with 10 percent, VivaAerobus 5 percent and Aeromar with less than 2 percent. Interjet, Volaris and VivaAerobus all are newcomers, less than a decade old. All focus on offering low fares. Aeroméxico dates back to 1934, when it began flying ship passengers from Acapulco to Mexico City. Aeriomar, which, until recently featured only jet-prop planes, has been concentrating on the domestic business market. Gone are Aerocalifornia, Aviacsa, Azteca, Taesa and others. Mexicana Airlines has been grounded due to financial difficulties since mid-2011 and may never fly again.
