Mexico’s first ever domestic aircraft is striking to look at and could be flying soon

Mexico is greasing the engine of its first-ever domestic aircraft, as company Oaxaca has unveiled its striking new small passenger plane that could be flying soon by the end of the year.

Oaxaca Aerospace is leading the charge for Mexico in the aviation market as more and more domestic planes are being created in the Americas.

While Brazil is also fighting to catch up with the US with its first planes, America’s biggest market threat could now be coming just across its border.

The first-ever domestic aircraft to be made in Mexico is here, and it’s a looker.

Mexico is fuelling up its first-ever self-made domestic aircraft

Despite its long-standing relationship with airplanes, with its first-ever airborne journey taking place over 115 years ago, Mexico hasn’t done much in the way of manufacturing its own craft.

In fact, there aren’t many vehicles at all that come from Mexico, as the North American country lags behind the rest of the world when it comes to cars, too.

But that is about to change, as it appears the first-ever domestic aircraft is ready to take flight.

The PE-210A Pegasus, built by Oaxaca Aerospace, is gearing up for its inaugural journey, as Oaxaca recently unveiled the final design at the Mexican Aerospace Fair 2025.

Taking some inspiration from the likes of Cessna, the PE-210A is a small aircraft with a striking look.

However, many features make it stand out from the crowd, such as its rear propeller, which looks like an old-school toy.

Still, it combines with a powerful engine to pump out 210 horsepower and achieve speeds of around 160 knots (190mph).

The rather sporty look allows room for two passengers and the pilots, which makes it great for short flights around the Americas and even island-hopping around Hawaii and the Caribbean.

While a date for its first flight has yet to be confirmed, public orders will be taking place over the next 12 months, and production will be in full swing by the end of the decade, indicating it will be in the air by the end of the year.

Can it compete in the aircraft space?

Well, it’s a late entry to the aviation game, that’s for sure.

The giants in Europe, like Airbus, are already light years ahead in creating aircraft that can run without fuel.

Similarly, Mexico’s neighbour, America, is already making ‘blended wing passenger jets’ that are set to take aircraft manufacturing into a new era.

Still, the Oaxaca PE-210A Pegasus is already being succeeded in Mexico as its much larger P-400T sister is in production.

With a mindset of supporting the military and providing passenger planes for its aviation lovers, Mexico could be making great airwaves in the market.
