- Held back by
- Reliability: grounded on 15-Jan-2025 after SICT suspended its operating permits.

4 measures, scored the same way for every airline we ticket.
Reliability & operations2/10
No on-time percentage has been researched for Calafia Airlines, so there is no punctuality figure to score. What is documented is worse. CAPA lists it as grounded on 15-Jan-2025, and routes had fallen from 12 to 4 before it stopped flying in August 2024. That grounding holds this score down.

Comfort & experience3/10
No cabin names, seat pitch or onboard product have been confirmed, which sits at the bottom of the rubric. The airline used Cessna, Embraer 145 and EMB 120 "Brasilia" aircraft. With Wi-Fi, meals and power unconfirmed, there is no published fact to lift this score higher.

Value & network2/10
Baggage allowance, fees and loyalty scheme are all unconfirmed, so no bag or fee advantage can be credited. The network shrank from 12 routes to 4 before August 2024, when it stopped flying. It once linked Baja California Sur with Sinaloa and Sonora, which is the only network strength on record.

Professional airline rating2/10
No star rating, awards or issuing body have been confirmed for Calafia Airlines, so nothing supports a higher score. The only formal verdict on record is regulatory. SICT suspended its operating permits in January 2025 after an AFAC inspection, citing an unreported address change and premises lacking the necessary infrastructure.

How the score is built
- 4 measures, each scored out of 10
- The headline is the plain average of those measures, computed in the open
- Each measure is an editorial assessment based on the published facts and sources in the breakdown
- No airline pays to be rated, and no placement is sold
What we deliberately left out
- Safety. It is not a marketing metric and we will not rank carriers on it.
- Cancellation rate and fleet age. Omitted rather than estimated, until a sourced field exists for every airline.
- Any sub-metric we cannot attribute. An unsourced measure is dropped, not guessed.
- Blended third-party scores that mix in inputs we have already rejected elsewhere on this page.
