Aeromexico
Hi,
I believe that Aeromexico is owned by the Mexican Government, I do know however that the Ryan family have a large share in acompany called VIVA AEROBUS along with a Mexican billionare who apparently owns most of the bus companies in Mexico. Viva Aerobus is based out of Monterey Mexico.
