The Mexican cargo airline, AeroUnion, has been renamed, given the brand of its Colombian parent company, Avianca. The rebranding of the freight carrier kicks off a new phase focused on fleet growth combined with regional and international network expansions.
Despite its name change, the company will maintain its independent operational and financial structure. However, its services will be aligned to those offered to customers by its parent company based on the highest standards in the industry, stresses a release.
More A330F are to come
Its change of identity goes hand in hand with the intent to grow its transport capacity. Following the introduction of an A330-200 P2F in mid-2024, a second freighter of this type was handed over to the airline on 20JUN25, boosting its capacity. The aircraft can accommodate 60+ tons per takeoff and fits oversized items on its main deck as well as temperature critical products due to an integrated cooling system. According to plans, announced earlier, three additional A330P2F are expected to join the fleet of the Mexico City-based carrier come 2026. “This fleet growth strengthens Mexico’s role as a strategic hub for the transportation of cargo to the United States, Colombia and other key markets in Latin America, Asia and Europe,” reads a company release.
According to Avianca Cargo México, these steps forward will enable it to offer the market a more robust and efficient network, with access to more than 350 global destinations through commercial alliances and interline agreements. Industrial sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals and perishables are among the main beneficiaries of this new and updated operational scheme.
Robust value proposition
“Serving our customers’ needs based on excellence, agility and reliability is part of this new launch that comes with key factors of our transformation. We are happy to present our new brand Avianca Cargo México, which comes with a robust value proposition and an expanded network to connect Mexico with the world,” emphasized Danilo Correa, CEO of Avianca Cargo México.
Diogo Elias, CEO of Avianca Cargo added to this: “We celebrate the launch of Avianca Cargo México, which combines capacity, commercial alliances and interline agreements to expand global connectivity.”
The renamed carrier will operate under a brand license granted to Aero Transporte de Carga Unión S.A., which will continue to operate as an independent Mexican legal entity, with its own technical, labor and administrative framework.
Parent Avianca Cargo operates a fleet of six A330 freighter aircraft. Its route network connects 68+ destinations. The main deck capacity is complemented by the lower deck compartments of the Latin American carrier’s passenger fleet.
Avianca enlarges Latin American network
On 16JUN25, Avianca started passenger flights between Bogotá and Cordoba in central Argentina, operating an A320neo jetliner thrice weekly. The route strengthens economic, cultural and touristic ties between both countries. It is part of the Colombian carrier’s strategy to grow its network in Latin America, offering travelers and cargo clients more options to explore the subcontinent and deepen existing business relationships or establish new connections.
