Aerus (airline)
Mexican regional carrier airline
Aerus, legally Aerotransportes Rafilher S.A. de C.V., is a Mexican regional carrier founded in 2022, and started operations in April 2023. It is based in Monterrey International Airport.
History
Aerus was founded in May 2022 by Grupo Herrera, following local government approval. It was originally founded in 1990 in San Luis Potosí as Aerotransportes Rafilher, for air taxi services. The airline is planned to launch in the first quarter of 2023, seeking to operate flights to destinations with no current air service.
In January 2023, the airline ordered 30 all-electric Eviation Alice aircraft. In February 2023, reports indicated that Aerus is planning to expand operations, aiming to have 14 aircraft and 500 employees by 2025. The airline is planning an investment of US$98 million as part of the expansion effort. The airline is also planning to recruit former employees of Aeromar, an airline that closed operations earlier in February 2025.
In April 2025, Aerus entered into a codeshare agreement with Viva Aerobus, enabling increased connectivity and coordinated flight offerings between the two airlines.

Why this record matters
The phrase “mexican regional carrier airline” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115869920. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2023, 1990 and 2025.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
