What Cámara Nacional De Aerotransportes does

Cámara Nacional de Aerotransportes (CANAERO) is the legally authorized industry chamber representing Mexico's air transport sector. Founded in 1966 and operating under the Ley de Cámaras Empresariales y sus Confederaciones, CANAERO is a non-profit cámara empresarial authorized by the Secretaría de Economía and grouped under CONCAMIN (Confederación de Cámaras Industriales de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos). It is composed of approximately 40 member companies spanning national and international commercial airlines, cargo operators, air taxis, and aviation service providers, including Grupo Aeroméxico, Grupo Viva Aerobus, LATAM, Air Canada, Estafeta, AeroUnión, Grupo Lomex, Grupo Orión, and Aerolíneas Ejecutivas.

The organization's core function is institutional representation, policy advocacy, and industry coordination rather than product development. CANAERO operates through a Mesa Directiva elected annually from its member organizations, currently led by President Cuitláhuac Gutiérrez (Grupo Aeroméxico) for the 2025-2026 term, with four Vice Presidents, a Secretary, and a Treasurer drawn from member airlines and cargo operators. Its work is organized through eight specialized national committees — Air Safety, Cargo, Airport Managers, Sustainability, Air Taxis, Legal & Public Affairs, Technical, and Finance Managers — plus a Technology Working Group focused on digital transformation trends. The chamber maintains an informational digital presence through canaero.org.mx and engages Eme Media Com as its PR agency for press communications.

CANAERO's business model is membership-based, with revenue derived primarily from affiliation dues of its members; specific tiers are not publicly disclosed. It acts as the formal consultative body to government (SICT, SE) on aviation policy and engages in bilateral aviation diplomacy, most recently in July 2025 calling for technical dialogue with the U.S. Department of Transportation to preserve bilateral air connectivity. The chamber does not sell software or technology products; its "offering" is representational voice, committee coordination, regulatory consultation, and institutional positioning for the Mexican air transport industry.
