Aero California (at times shortened as AeroCal) was a low-cost airline with its headquarters in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, operating a network of domestic passenger flights with its hub at the city's Manuel Márquez de León International Airport.

[2][3] The airline was founded in La Paz, Mexico in 1960 as an air taxi operator using a fleet of Cessna and Beechcraft airplanes, initially known as Servicios Aéreos.

By the early 1980s the demand for domestic charter flights had grown enough that the larger Douglas DC-3 was added to the fleet.

Scheduled services were launched in June 1982, initially interlinking La Paz, Tijuana and Hermosillo using one Convair 340.

By late 1989, the airline was also serving Phoenix and Tucson besides Los Angeles in the U.S.[4][5] In 1992, San Diego had been added to the list of cities served by Aero California in the U.S.[6] By 1995, the fleet had been upgraded to only include jet aircraft of various McDonnell Douglas DC-9 subtypes.
