New Aguascalientes–Monterrey flights start twice-weekly

Viva Aerobus will begin service between Aguascalientes and Monterrey on June 15, with flights operating twice a week, according to the government of Aguascalientes and a local media report. The flights are scheduled for Thursdays and Sundays, and the published timetable shows the service running with an express stop at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport near Mexico City. The state government included the Monterrey link in a May 12 announcement about five new routes from Aguascalientes starting in June. Viva also lists Aguascalientes-to-Monterrey flights on its booking pages. ### When do the Aguascalientes-Monterrey flights start? June 15, 2026 is the start date published by the Aguascalientes government for Viva Aerobus service linking Aguascalientes with Monterrey. The same state notice said Viva would also begin Aguascalientes service to the Felipe Ángeles airport and connections to Cancún on that date. (informacion.aguascalientes.gob.mx) ADN40 reported on May 31 that Aguascalientes would gain the Monterrey connection from June 15, citing details released by local authorities. The outlet said the route would operate with two weekly frequencies. ### Which days will the flights operate? Thursdays and Sundays are the operating days published for the Monterrey service. (informacion.aguascalientes.gob.mx) The state government timetable lists those two days for both directions of the route. The ADN40 report repeated the same schedule, saying both legs would operate on Thursdays and Sundays. That matches the state government posting released earlier in May. (adn40.mx) ### What times are posted for the route? The Aguascalientes government said the Monterrey-to-Aguascalientes flight, listed as VB7070, is scheduled to depart at 14:45 and arrive at 17:55. (informacion.aguascalientes.gob.mx) The return flight, VB7071, is scheduled to leave Aguascalientes at 18:30 and arrive in Monterrey at 21:55. Those timings include what the state described as an “escala express” at Felipe Ángeles International Airport, with passengers not required to leave the aircraft. (adn40.mx) ADN40 reported the same operating pattern and times. ### Is this a nonstop route or a through service? The published state timetable describes the Monterrey link as a service with an express stop at AIFA rather than a nonstop flight. (informacion.aguascalientes.gob.mx) The government notice used the same wording for the Cancún connection tied to the Aguascalientes-AIFA operation. That matters because some third-party flight databases separately show a nonstop Aguascalientes-Monterrey market under Viva later in 2026. (adn40.mx) The official state notice for the June 15 launch, however, describes the June service as operating through AIFA without passengers disembarking, making the government posting the more direct source for the launch details. (informacion.aguascalientes.gob.mx) ### How does this fit into Aguascalientes’ broader route expansion? Aguascalientes officials said on May 12 that the Monterrey service is one of five new routes being added in June. The same announcement said Volaris would start Puebla and Puerto Vallarta flights on June 2, while Viva would add AIFA, Cancún and Monterrey on June 15. (informacion.aguascalientes.gob.mx) The state government said the added routes would support passenger mobility, tourism, commercial exchange and business travel. That characterization came from the official announcement accompanying the timetable, not from Viva in a separate statement reviewed here. ### Where can travelers check the service next? Viva Aerobus currently lists Aguascalientes-to-Monterrey flights on its booking pages, while the Aguascalientes government news site carries the June 15 launch date, flight numbers and operating days. (informacion.aguascalientes.gob.mx) Travelers looking for the next step can check those posted schedules as the start date approaches. (vivaaerobus.com)
