Since 1994.
Captain Joel Lozano Loza built what Mexico did not have — a charter operator that owns its reputation because it owns its aircraft.
A conviction, not a business plan.
In the early 1990s, Mexico’s private aviation market relied on brokered aircraft, inconsistent maintenance standards, and operators who disappeared between flights. Captain Joel Lozano Loza — a commercial pilot with thousands of hours logged across North and Latin America — saw the gap and decided to fill it himself.
In 1994, Aero J.L., S.A. de C.V. was founded at Toluca International Airport with a single aircraft and a straightforward principle: own the fleet, train the crew, control the operation. No middlemen. No subcontracted aircraft. Every flight under one roof.
Three decades later, that principle has not changed. The fleet has grown to eight aircraft. The hangar has grown to 3,459 square meters. The reputation has grown across the Americas. But the model remains the same: if it flies under the AeroJL call sign, we own it, we maintain it, and our crew flies it.
The difference is ownership.
Every aircraft in our fleet is owned and maintained by Aero JL. We do not broker, lease, or subcontract. When you book a flight, you fly on our aircraft with our crew. This means consistent maintenance standards, crews who know their aircraft intimately, and an operations team that controls the entire chain — from dispatch to landing.
Toluca International Airport
Our operations are based at a dedicated 3,459 m² facility at Toluca International Airport (MMTO/TLC), located 65 km west of Mexico City. The facility houses our full fleet, maintenance operations, crew briefing rooms, and client services — everything under one roof.
Toluca offers a strategic advantage: lower congestion than Mexico City’s AICM, faster turnaround times, and direct highway access to the capital. For clients departing from central Mexico, it is the most efficient point of origin.
Experience is not a slogan.
Our flight crews train at FlightSafety International and CAE — the two most recognized aviation training institutions in the world. Recurrent training is not optional; it is scheduled. Every pilot holds type ratings specific to the aircraft they fly, and our bilingual crew capability ensures seamless communication on international routes across Mexico, the United States, and Latin America.
Verified, not claimed.
ARG/US Gold Safety Rating
ARG/US International is the world’s leading independent aviation safety auditor. Their ratings are used by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and insurance underwriters to evaluate charter operators. An ARG/US audit examines over 400 safety standards covering pilot qualifications, maintenance practices, operational history, insurance adequacy, and regulatory compliance.
Aero JL holds the Gold rating — the second-highest tier in the ARG/US system. Gold indicates a mature operator with a comprehensive safety management system, experienced pilots, and a demonstrated commitment to operational standards that exceed regulatory minimums.
When your corporate travel policy requires ARG/US Gold or Platinum, Aero JL qualifies. This is not a self-awarded badge — it is a third-party verification that we meet the same safety standards your Fortune 500 clients demand for their own executives.
