History

On 17 June 2013, Grupo Aeroméxico announced that it would launch a new subsidiary to help with their busiest international and domestic routes.[3] 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.[4]

In 2015, Contigo launched flights to LA/Ontario, Fresno, and several other smaller, secondary airports in Northern California.[5]

Starting in 2016, to compete against other Mexican low-cost airlines, Contigo began eliminating free hot meals and checked baggage.[6][7] Contigo's fares and costs tend to be significantly lower than those of mainline Aeroméxico, often rivaling those of Volaris and Interjet Airlines.[8]
