Aerolitoral, operating under the brand name Aeroméxico Connect, is a regional Mexican airline and a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroméxico. It was established to operate shorter regional and domestic routes that complement the mainline Aeroméxico network, feeding passengers into major hubs.
The airline flies under the IATA code 5D and ICAO code SLI, with the radio callsign COSTERA. It primarily serves secondary cities and towns throughout Mexico that are not economically viable for larger jet operations, using turboprop and regional jet aircraft.
As a subsidiary of Aeroméxico, Aerolitoral benefits from code-share arrangements and integration into the SkyTeam alliance network, allowing passengers to connect seamlessly to international flights operated by the parent carrier.
Hubs & network
Aerolitoral primarily operates through Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport and Monterrey's General Mariano Escobedo International Airport.
Fleet
Aerolitoral has operated Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets and ATR 42/72 turboprop aircraft to serve regional Mexican routes.
