The Company is approximately 75% owned by a subsidiary of the Mexican bus transportation company, Inversionistas en Autotransportes Mexicanos SA de CV and approximately 25% owned by the RyanMex Group. As the biggest passenger bus transportation operator in Mexico, IAMSA serves 20 of the 31 Mexican states, transporting 260 million passengers annually with 9000 buses and 389 stations. RyanMex is controlled by the Ryan family, which holds shares in Ryanair, Singapore's Tiger Airways and a U.S. carrier, Allegiant. The Company started operations with an initial investment of $50 million and two Boeing 737-300 airplanes. The Government of Mexico granted authority to vivaAerobus to operate passenger and cargo services. With its hub at Mariano Escobedo International Airport in Monterrey, Mexico, vivaAerobus serves several Mexican cities. Presently, vivaAerobus operates a fleet of five Boeing 737-300 aircraft.
