History

The airline was founded on March 5, 1998, but only in November 2000 an application to the United States Department of Transportation for the right to carry cargo between the United States and Mexico was filed.[3] Flight operations were launched in July 2001, with services to the Los Angeles key market being commenced on January 21, 2006.[4]
