History

2013

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 4 wet-leased Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Their inaugural flight was on 1 October 2013 on the Guadalajara-Los Angeles route. [4]

2015

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

2016 – present

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]

gollark: It has become a thing because IPv4 addresses are increasingly expensive.
