British Airways and Viva announce new codeshare partnership

British Airways, the UK’s flag carrier, and Viva, the Mexican airline bringing more ‘Flex-SÍ-bility’ to air travel, have today announced a new codeshare agreement, giving customers greater choice and connectivity when travelling between Mexico, the UK and Europe.

Through the new agreement, British Airways customers will be able to book connecting journeys to or from 13 destinations across Mexico served by Viva, including Guadalajara, Monterrey and Puerto Vallarta, when travelling via Mexico City (MEX) and Cancun (CUN) to London.

13 destinations operated by Viva will be bookable under a British Airways flight code on ba.com, allowing customers to book their entire journey in a single transaction for a simpler and more convenient travel experience. Members of The British Airways Club will also be able to earn Avios and tier points when travelling.

The partnership will provide customers travelling from London and across Europe with greater access to destinations throughout Mexico, while customers beginning their journey in Mexico will be able to connect in London to British Airways’ extensive global network of more than 200 destinations.

Viva is Mexico's most affordable low-cost airline, having carried over 180 million passengers over its 20-year history. Backed by a fleet of 110 Airbus 320 and 321 aircraft. Viva connects its passengers to over 60 destinations in Mexico, the US, Colombia, Costa Rica and Cuba. Viva also offers its customers ‘Flex-SÍ-bility’, giving them greater control over their travel plans with options to change their flights, change or transfer their tickets, and much more.

Neil Chernoff, Chief Planning and Strategy Officer at British Airways said: “We’re excited to launch our new codeshare partnership with Viva, opening up more of Mexico to our customers and providing greater choice when planning their journeys. Mexico has been an important part of our network for over 60 years, and this agreement marks a new moment in that long history. By bringing together Viva’s extensive domestic network with British Airways’ global connectivity, we’re making it easier for customers to travel between Mexico, London and destinations across our wider network.”

Javier Suarez, Executive Vice President & Chief Planning and Alliances Officer at Viva said: “We are excited about this new partnership with British Airways. Connecting British Airways’ services with our network from Mexico City and Cancún will allow their customers to seamlessly reach many more destinations across Mexico. Likewise, passengers from cities across our network will be able to connect through Mexico City or Cancún and board a British Airways flight to Europe and beyond, all with the convenience of a single ticket.”

Codeshare flights with Viva are available to book now at ba.com, for travel from 28 March 2027.
