Calafia Airlines is a Mexican airline that flies scheduled services. The airline is based at Cabo San Lucas International Airfield and flies to several destinations within Mexico, flying to more than 20 locations overall.
The airline launched in 1993. For its first 23 years of flying, it was named Aéreo Calafia until it rebranded to Calafia Airlines in 2016. Along with the rebrand, the airline created a new logo but kept its recognisable blue and red colours on all of its branding.
