Initially, the new image was applied to the fuselage of an Embraer-190 aircraft, with registration
number XA-IAC, and gradually, it will be incorporated into the more than 150 aircraft that make up the
current fleet of Mexico's global airline, which is also the largest and most modern in its nine-decade
history.
Aeromexico introduced “Kukulcán,” earlier this month, a new Boeing 737 MAX-9 that, like Quetzalcóatl, will embody the spirit of contemporary Mexico at every destination it reaches with this c
The design of this aircraft, with registration XA-GQS, was crafted by the artist Edgar Flores "Saner" from the State of Mexico. It features elements of Mexican folklore, including native flowers and animals.
The new version of the Caballero Aguila shows a more human face that conveys closeness and
empathy, which are part of Aeromexico's mission to create a stronger connection with its customers,
employees, and partners. The redesigned helmet represents the fuselage of an aircraft on the upper
part and the emblematic plumage of the original version on the lower part.
The redesign procedure was carried out at the International Aerospace Coatings (IAC) in Amarillo,
Texas. It consisted of removing the previous paint from the fuselage, wings, engines, and surfaces to
apply the new design.
Andres Conesa, CEO of Aeromexico, said: “This year marks a huge milestone for all who are part of the
Aeromexico Family as we celebrate 90 years of history. On this special anniversary, I am proud to
introduce you to the new image that will adorn our fleet, which reflects the internal transformation we
have made to consolidate a world-class product, always keeping our customers at the centre of
everything we do. This anniversary is an opportunity to reflect on all the achievements we have
reached, look forward, and give our best to continue elevating the journey towards the extraordinary.”
At the end of 1959, the Caballero Aguila became the official emblem of the company when all its
aircraft were renamed in honour of the Aztec culture. Since then, the company has evolved constantly,
making it one of the most iconic and historic airlines worldwide.
