Mexico's ultra-low-cost carrier Viva announced today a new non-stop service connecting Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Mexico City’s New International Airport, Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA).

Starting on November 13, this direct route will operate three times a week, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Departing from Mexico City (NLU) at 6:10 PM, the flight arrives in Chicago (ORD) at 10:15 PM. The return flight departs ORD at 11:45 PM, landing back in Mexico City (NLU) at 4:00 AM.

This route continues strengthening Viva’s expansion into the US and the Midwest, offering travelers in the region more accessible options to connect with Mexico. Viva already operates regular flights from Chicago to León (BJX), Guadalajara (GDL), Mexico City (AICM), Morelia (MLM) and Monterrey (MTY).

“On behalf of Mayor Brandon Johnson, the Chicago Department of Aviation is proud to welcome Viva's new seasonal service between O’Hare International Airport and Felipe Ángeles International Airport, serving Greater Mexico City,” said CDA Commissioner Jamie L. Rhee. “This new route for O'Hare not only enhances access between two global cities, but also celebrates and strengthens the deep cultural and economic ties between Chicago and Mexico — a relationship that is especially meaningful in a city home to one of the largest Mexican communities in the United States.”

“We are thrilled to launch our new route from Chicago to the brand-new Mexico City International Airport,” said Javier Suárez, Executive Vice President of Strategy, Planning & Alliances at Viva. “Our ultra-low fares and friendly service continue to be a winning combination for leisure travelers, those visiting friends and relatives, and small to mid-sized businesses looking to optimize their travel budgets. W ith this addition, Viva now flies non-stop from Chicago to both Mexico City airports, as well as to Monterrey, Morelia, Guadalajara and León.”

Passengers traveling from Chicago to Mexico City will be able to connect to more than 30 domestic and international destinations operated by Viva at AIFA, where the airline is currently the main operator, with a total of 38 routes expected by the end of 2025.

They will fly aboard the youngest fleet in Mexico and 5th in all North America, consisting of 93 A320 and A321 CEO and NEO aircrafts, with the most flexibility and the best prices in the Mexican market.
