History
Avolar began operations on 7 September 2005[1] with a single Boeing 737-500 aircraft.
On August 4, 2008, the Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transports suspended all Avolar operations due to tax debts, leaving thousands stranded at Tijuana Airport.[2] Four days later, the airline resumed all flights.[3]
On the night of October 3, 2008, Mexico's aviation authorities again suspended Avolar operations; the airline canceled flights from Tijuana International Airport that were bound for Guadalajara and Cuernavaca at that time without any previous warning, leaving 160 passengers stranded at the airport.[4] However, 13 hours later, on October 4, the airline resumed all services normally.[5]
