Deal rationale and strategic fit

  • The merger forms a new Mexican airline group to accelerate air travel growth, democratize access, and expand connectivity in Mexico, Latin America, and internationally, leveraging economies of scale and a holding company structure.

  • Both carriers will retain independent brands and operations, maintaining passenger choice and benefiting from a unified vision, shared resources, and stronger financial foundation.

  • The group targets under-penetrated markets, supporting economic development, job creation, and regional mobility, especially in underserved regions.

  • The transaction is positioned to deliver significant benefits to employees, passengers, shareholders, and communities by expanding customer choice and improving service standards.

  • Shared ultra-low-cost and point-to-point network strategies will be maintained to deepen passenger loyalty and stimulate demand.

Financial terms and conditions

  • Shareholders of both companies will merge their holding companies in a merger of equals, each group owning 50% of the new entity on a fully diluted basis.

  • Viva shareholders will receive newly issued shares, and the new holding company will be publicly listed under a new ticker as Grupo Más Vuelos, S.A.B. de C.V., on the NYSE and BMV.

  • The board will have equal representation from both companies, chaired by Viva's current chairman.

  • As of 3Q'25, the combined group reported revenues of $5.36 billion and a total fleet of 251 Airbus A320 Family aircraft.

  • Pro forma leverage is 2.7x EV/EBITDA, with a combined net debt profile and improved access to capital.

Synergies and expected cost savings

  • Significant economies of scale expected from compatibility in fleets, technology, reservation systems, and suppliers, enabling joint procurement and streamlined maintenance.

  • Major cost savings anticipated in aircraft ownership, procurement, and capital allocation, targeting lower ownership costs and improved credit metrics.

  • The combined group will have the lowest CASM ex-Fuel among carriers in the Americas, supporting sustained low fares.

  • Enhanced balance sheet and liquidity will facilitate access to lower-cost funding and more favorable lease terms.

  • High compatibility across fleet, infrastructure, and suppliers will drive substantial synergies and scale efficiencies.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
