Grupo Aeroméxico has formed a strategic alliance with Grupo Bimbo through which it will promote the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in its corporate and business travel in Latin America.

With this alliance, the first of its kind in the region, both companies combine capabilities, vision and commitment to accelerate the reduction of emissions through the use of SAF , joining efforts to move towards more sustainable aviation.

The reduction of emissions will be certified through internationally recognized mechanisms for the allocation and traceability of the SAF.

“This alliance reflects how collaboration can accelerate the transition to more sustainable aviation in Mexico and Latin America, driving concrete actions to reduce emissions in key activities such as business travel. The transition will only be possible through a network of partners committed to significantly reducing the environmental impact of their entire value chain and moving toward long-term goals for 2050. This agreement sets a precedent in the region and demonstrates that it is possible to move toward concrete, measurable solutions aligned with global climate challenges,” said Karen Farías, Director of Sustainability & ESG at Aeroméxico.

In this way, both companies will contribute to the mitigation of greenhouse gases; in the case of the airline, by reducing Scope 1 emissions generated by fuel use; while Grupo Bimbo will reduce its Scope 3 emissions, generated by business travel. This joint effort reinforces the long-term decarbonization goals of both organizations and consolidates their leadership in corporate sustainability.

“We have a clear goal for 2050: for Grupo Bimbo to be a net-zero carbon emissions company. To achieve this, initiatives like the one we have today with Aeroméxico contribute to this goal, which requires the joint work of all stakeholders throughout our value chain,” said Alejandra Vázquez, Global Director of Sustainability at Grupo Bimbo.

Furthermore, David Hernández, Global Purchasing Director at Grupo Bimbo, stated that “this alliance with Aeroméxico demonstrates how collaboration with strategic partners can help us reduce emissions beyond our direct operations and tangibly advance towards our goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.”

This collaboration represents a milestone for the airline industry in Mexico and Latin America , reflecting the commitment and vision of both organizations in integrating sustainability into their business models and corporate strategies; as well as in adopting tangible solutions to move towards a low-carbon economy.

Regarding Aeromexico, this initiative will allow it to continue moving towards its goal of net zero emissions by 2050, strengthening its leadership as one of the main drivers of the viability of sustainable aviation fuels in the region.

Currently, SAF is considered the leading solution available for reducing air transport emissions , as it allows for up to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions compared to conventional fossil fuels. It is produced from renewable raw materials such as organic waste and has the necessary certifications for its use, making it compatible with the current airline fleet.

Therefore, the initiative seeks to strengthen a culture of sustainability both within organizations and in society, promoting greater awareness of the importance of decarbonization. It is also part of Grupo Bimbo’s comprehensive decarbonization strategy, which addresses various aspects of the value chain, from agriculture to logistics and energy.

Grupo Aeroméxico reported a 13.3% increase in its revenue during the first quarter of the year, compared to the same period last year, despite the increase in fuel prices as a result of geopolitical events recorded since the end of February.

In its report sent to the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), it indicated that the cost of fuel per liter increased 13.1% compared to the aforementioned period, averaging 77 cents of a dollar per liter versus 68 cents of a dollar per liter internationally.

Therefore, total operating expenses – including fuel, labor, maintenance, passenger and aircraft services, aircraft leases, depreciation and amortization – reached $1.2 billion , reflecting a 15.1% increase compared to the same period in 2025.

However, total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 amounted to $1.341 billion, representing a 13.3% increase compared to the same period of the previous year, driven by premium revenue, the sustained recovery of demand that began in the second half of 2025, and the appreciation of the Mexican peso, which allowed for a solid revenue performance during the quarter.

“Aeromexico started the year on a solid footing, building on the momentum of the second half of 2025. Demand remained strong throughout the quarter, driving good revenue performance, even in a dynamic environment with temporary disruptions in some specific domestic markets. We maintained high levels of profitability, despite the pressure on margins generated by the increase in fuel prices,” said Andrés Conesa, CEO of the airline.

During the period, Aeromexico’s capacity, measured in available seat miles (ASMs), decreased 1.2% year over year, adjusted EBITDA totaled $335.8 million, with a margin of 25%, representing an increase of 5% compared to the same period of the previous year.

Meanwhile, net income totaled $10.7 million, with a margin of 0.8 percent. As of March 31, Grupo Aeroméxico’s operating fleet consisted of 166 aircraft, with an average age of 8.8 years.

Similarly, he indicated that he expects an increase of between 12.5% ​​and 15.5% in his revenue for the second quarter of the year.

El cargo Grupo Aeroméxico reports increased revenue in the first quarter of 2026 apareció primero en T21.

Grupo Aeroméxico was crowned the country’s leading airline in cargo movement during 2025 , leaving behind the other major cargo carriers , Avianca Cargo México and Estafeta .

According to statistics from the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) , the company led by Andrés Conesa transported 159,476.54 tons last year , which represented a 4.7% increase compared to 2024, when it reported 152,209.89 tons.

Conversely, the largest cargo carrier moved 81,114.16 tons, Avianca Cargo Mexico 24,886.48 tons, and Estafeta 34,008.72 tons during the period.

Andrés Conesa, CEO of Aeroméxico, commented that the company’s strengthening in cargo stems from the investment made in the fleet, particularly in the Boeing Dreamliner 787, with three new aircraft joining the company’s operations by 2026.

Furthermore, he indicated that their alliance with Amazon has positioned the airline in the national market, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, since they have the necessary certificates for the transport of this type of merchandise and perishables.

“They are different components, but air cargo has been steadily increasing. By 2026, with the three 787s, we will achieve more, although we have been pressured by prices, which have been complicated by trade issues and the tariff war that has lowered volumes. But we have defended ourselves with greater capacity to maintain a level of income that complements passenger revenue. We are a passenger airline, and cargo complements it; we are not a cargo airline,” he stated in response to a question from T21.

In the case of the domestic market, Grupo Aeroméxico transported 52,761.38 tons in 2025, which meant an increase of 9.9% compared to 2024, when it moved 48,012.6 tons.

Internationally, the firm went from 104,197.29 tons in 2024 to 106,715.16 tons in 2025, that is, a year-on-year increase of 2.4%.
