Mexican airline Interjet has added more flights and frequency to the United States and on some domestic routes.

The firm will offer flights daily except Saturdays between Monterrey and San Antonio, Texas, and a second daily flight between Mexico City and New York.

Interjet will also increase flights from Monterrey to the Bajío in Guanajuato and Villahermosa, Tabasco, and between Acapulco and Mexico City. In addition, a new route will link Tijuana and Acapulco.

The airline carried more than 7.8 million passengers last year. It recently joined the International Air Transport Association and signed codesharing agreements with the Spanish carrier Iberia and American Airlines.

The company’s CEO said February 9 that a public share offering might happen by the end of the year. José Luis Garza said “if things don’t change” it could list on the Mexican exchange at the end of 2015 or the beginning of 2016.

Interjet abandoned its plan to go public with a US $300-million listing in 2011 due to market conditions. It operates a fleet of 51 aircraft.
