Servicios Aereos Litoral operating as Aerolitoral is based in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. On November 2007, the airline has announced that Aerolitoral will become Aeromexico Connect. The airline was established in 1988 as Servicios Aereos Litoral, to later become a subsidiary of AeroMéxico on December 1, 1990. It started with a fleet of 4 NAMC YS-11 aircraft in 1988 and was originally based in Veracruz. In February 1992, AeroMéxico started another regional feeder airline, Aerovias de Poniente, S.A. de C.V. based in Guadalajara using Fairchild Metros. The fleet was replaced and expanded... quite fast between 1991 and 1995 and grew to a total of 29 Fairchild Metro III and Fairchild Metro 23 aircraft between the two feeders. In 1991, the main base was moved to Monterrey and in 1992, Aeroponiente started operations from Guadalajara. The pilot seniority list was merged, and a common paint scheme was adopted using the AeroMéxico logo. Since 1992 Aerolitoral has been the only source of pilots for AeroMéxico with more than 400 pilots transferred until today. In 1993, a small base was opened in Culiacán and after 3 months was moved to Chihuahua.
