VivaAerobus Group (VivaAerobus.com) (Monterrey) has signed a purchase agreement for 52 Airbus A320 Family aircraft (40 A320neo and 12 A320ceo aircraft), representing the biggest Airbus aircraft order by a single airline in Latin American history. VivaAerobus, a Mexican low-cost carrier, will announce the engine selection at a later date.

VivaAerobus, part-owned by IAMSA, one of Mexico’s largest transportation companies, and Irelandia Aviation, a global low-cost-carrier airline developer, will replace its entire fleet of Boeing 737-300s to become an all-Airbus carrier by 2016. VivaAerobus has been a pioneer in Mexico’s ’Bus to Air’ model, which is an initiative to convert bus passengers to air travelers.
