Estrellas del Aire (English: Air Stars) was a Mexican passenger airline. It was established in 1991 by Estrellas de Oro, to complement their existing bus routes throughout Mexico. It was notable for being one of the first airlines in the country to be fully owned by a bus company, similar to VivaAerobús today.[4] The airline had a fleet of two second-hand Douglas DC-9-10 aircraft.[5] In 1996, the Estrellas del Aire fleet and routes out of Mexico City were acquired by Aerolíneas Internacionales and it has not operated since.[6]
