Calafia Airlines pay later

Can You Pay Later on Calafia Airlines?

No, It Has Stopped Flying, but Laters.com Can Split Other Fares

No. Calafia Airlines stopped flying in August 2024 and its operating permits were suspended by Mexico's SICT in January 2025, so there is no Calafia Airlines flight to search, let alone put on a payment plan. Laters.com still offers a pay-later plan on the carriers now flying its old Baja California Sur routes, including Aeromexico, TAR Aerolineas and Viva Aerobus.

Paying later is a payment method at the Laters.com checkout, not something Calafia Airlines has to switch on, so it works on every route we ticket. Search the route, choose a provider, pick a plan, and the e-ticket arrives once payment is approved. Which plans you see depends on the country you book from, not the airline, and checkout shows only plans your fare qualifies for, so there is nothing to work out first.

An installment plan leaves the fare alone, and the baggage allowance, and the seat. You fly on Calafia Airlines's own fare rules, and only the paying is spread. Interest-free plans run a soft eligibility check that does not affect your credit score. Interest-bearing monthly financing runs a full credit check. Approval is never guaranteed on either. Paying later is credit, so borrow only what you can repay. Paying in full by card or crypto is also an option.

Laters.com vs booking direct

Why buy Calafia Airlines flights with Laters.com?

Booking direct with the airline is a reasonable choice for a straight card payment. What it does not give you is one search across every airline we sell, or the choice of pay-later plans the Laters.com checkout carries. The ticket is the same either way: a Calafia Airlines ticket issued on the airline's own fare rules, with the same baggage allowance, seat selection and loyalty earning. Splitting the fare changes nothing. Pay-later plans are credit, so borrow only what you can repay.

The Laters.com Airline Quality Score for Calafia Airlines

What is the Laters.com Airline Quality Score?

Our editorial rating, out of 10, for what an airline is actually like to fly once you have booked it.

  1. 1Reliability & operations
  2. 2Comfort & experience
  3. 3Value & network
  4. 4Professional airline rating

Every airline we ticket is scored on the same 4 measures, so you can compare them like for like before you book. See the full methodology See all airline scores →

Scored by the Laters.com editorial team from the airline’s own published specifications and named third-party measurements. No airline pays to be rated, no placement is sold, and this page contains no affiliate links.

Calafia Airlines scores 2.3 out of 10: the plain average of the measures below, rounded to one decimal. Each measure is an editorial assessment of the published facts.

What to watch

  • CAPA lists it as grounded since 15-Jan-2025
  • SICT suspended its operating permits in January 2025
  • Booking website and app are no longer available
  • Routes cut from 12 to 4 before it stopped flying

The editorial take

Strongest on
Value & network: past links from Baja California Sur to Sinaloa and Sonora.
Held back by
Reliability: grounded on 15-Jan-2025 after SICT suspended its operating permits.
Which cabin
No cabin facts confirmed and it is grounded, so none to recommend.

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.

Sources: Posta Mexico: routes cut 12 to 4, CAPA grounded 15-Jan-2025

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.

Sources: Posta Mexico: fleet types (Cessna, Embraer 145, EMB 120 Brasilia)

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

  1. Safety. It is not a marketing metric and we will not rank carriers on it.
  2. Cancellation rate and fleet age. Omitted rather than estimated, until a sourced field exists for every airline.
  3. Any sub-metric we cannot attribute. An unsourced measure is dropped, not guessed.
  4. Blended third-party scores that mix in inputs we have already rejected elsewhere on this page.

The full method, measure by measure, is on how we score airlines.

FAQs: Booking Calafia Airlines and Paying Later

Everything about booking Calafia Airlines flights on Laters.com and splitting the fare, plus the airline’s own rules that decide what you get.

Can I book Calafia Airlines flights on Laters and pay later?

No. Calafia Airlines stopped flying in August 2024, and Mexico's transport ministry (SICT) suspended its operating permits in January 2025. Its website and app, which sold and booked its tickets, are no longer available. Laters works on every airline, route and fare class at checkout, but there are no current Calafia flights to put on a payment plan.

Why did Calafia Airlines stop flying?

Calafia suspended operations temporarily in August 2023 over pending procedures with Mexico's civil aviation agency (AFAC). It stopped flying by its own decision in August 2024, after cutting its routes from 12 to 4. In January 2025 SICT suspended its permits after an AFAC inspection, citing an address change it had not reported and new premises lacking the needed infrastructure.

Which routes did Calafia Airlines fly before it stopped?

Calafia connected Baja California Sur with Sinaloa, Sonora and other Mexican Pacific cities, and for years flew passengers between Los Mochis and La Paz. By August 2024 it was down to 4 routes from 12. None of these can be booked now, so Laters cannot offer a payment plan on them.

Am I eligible for pay later on a Calafia Airlines booking?

Eligibility never comes into play, because Calafia has no flights on sale. Its permits were suspended in January 2025 and CAPA lists it as grounded on 15 January 2025. For a replacement flight on one of the 650+ airlines on Laters, the payment provider decides eligibility when you apply at checkout.

Is there a credit check for Calafia Airlines flights?

None, because Calafia Airlines has had no flights on sale since it stopped flying in August 2024. On a replacement flight with Aeromexico, TAR Aerolineas or Viva Aerobus, an interest-free provider such as Affirm or Zip runs a soft eligibility check that does not touch your credit score, while a longer monthly plan runs a full credit check. Laters delivers the e-ticket instantly once the provider approves.

What happens if I miss a payment on a plan for a Calafia replacement flight?

No plan can be opened on Calafia itself, because the airline stopped flying in August 2024. On a replacement flight, missed payments are handled under the provider's terms, which can include fees or an effect on your credit file. Those terms are shown at checkout, and you should borrow only what you can repay on schedule.

I hold a Calafia Airlines ticket. Can I get a refund?

Calafia's website and app, where tickets were sold and managed, are no longer available, and its permits were suspended in January 2025. No refund process for Calafia tickets is confirmed in the researched facts. If you paid by installments, tell your plan provider or card issuer promptly and ask what happens to the remaining payments.

What was Calafia Airlines' baggage allowance?

No Calafia baggage allowance was ever confirmed, because the airline's site could not be opened for research. No carry-on weight, size or excess-baggage charge is stated here. With no flights operating since August 2024, you should check the rules of whichever airline you book instead.

When did check-in open and close on Calafia Airlines?

Calafia's check-in times were never confirmed, and its website and app are no longer available. There is no check-in to do, since the airline stopped flying in August 2024. For a replacement flight, use the check-in cut-off the new airline gives you.

What aircraft did Calafia Airlines use?

Calafia used Cessna aircraft, the Embraer 145 and the EMB 120 Brasilia. It began as Aero Calafia, a regional air-taxi service, and was renamed Calafia Airlines in mid-2016. Its current fleet in service is not confirmed, and none of its aircraft are flying passengers now.

Which airlines can replace Calafia Airlines for flights to La Paz?

Three carriers were reported adding La Paz routes in 2023. Aeroméxico added a seasonal Mexico City to La Paz route from May 2023, TAR Aerolíneas flew La Paz to Chihuahua via Culiacán three times a week from 1 April 2023, and Viva Aerobus added a seasonal La Paz route via Mazatlán from 1 July 2023. Check current schedules in a Laters search before you book.

How do I choose a payment plan for a bigger fare when Calafia is no longer flying?

Search Aeromexico, TAR Aerolineas or Viva Aerobus for the Baja California Sur route Calafia used to fly; it cut its own network from 12 routes to 4 before stopping in August 2024, so one of these three is now the carrier you need. Pick the plan whose installment you can cover from your regular income, and compare the total you will repay with the plan's cost shown at checkout. A longer plan lowers each payment but can raise the total, so check that figure before you accept.

Is pay later for Calafia Airlines available in Mexico or other countries?

Calafia was a Mexican regional carrier with its address on record in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, but it no longer sells tickets anywhere. For replacement flights, Laters lists 650+ airlines. Which pay-later providers you can use depends on your country and is shown at checkout.

Will a pay-later plan for a Calafia replacement flight affect my credit score?

Calafia Airlines itself has nothing to book: its operating permits were suspended by Mexico's SICT in January 2025, so no plan on it can touch your score. On a replacement booking, an interest-free provider such as Klarna or Kueski runs only a soft check, while Laters.com's longer monthly financing runs a full credit check that can affect your score if you miss a payment.

Do any airlines let you pay later?

Yes. Laters.com adds a pay-later choice of Affirm, Klarna, Kueski, Mercado Pago or Zip, where offered, at checkout on every airline it tickets, including Aeromexico, TAR Aerolineas and Viva Aerobus on the Baja California Sur routes Calafia Airlines used to fly. Calafia itself cannot be booked, since it stopped flying in August 2024.

Which airline can I book and pay later?

Any airline currently flying the route you need, including Aeromexico, TAR Aerolineas and Viva Aerobus on Calafia's old Baja California Sur network. Calafia itself cannot be booked, with or without a payment plan, because it has stopped flying and its own site is down.

Can I fly and pay later?

Yes, on any of the 650+ airlines Laters.com tickets today, including the carriers now flying the Baja California Sur routes Calafia Airlines dropped before its permits were suspended in January 2025. Search your route, pick a plan at checkout, and the e-ticket is issued once the provider approves it.

Can I book a flight then pay later?

Yes. Choose your flight first, for example on one of the carriers replacing Calafia Airlines' grounded Baja California Sur network, then pick a pay-later provider and plan at checkout. Booking and financing are two separate steps, so changing how you pay never changes the fare you locked in.

What airline allows you to pay monthly?

Laters.com's longer, interest-bearing plans spread a fare over monthly payments on any airline in search, including the carriers now flying Calafia's former Baja California Sur routes. A full credit check applies to this plan type, unlike the shorter interest-free shapes.

What airline allows installments?

Every airline in Laters.com's search supports an installment plan at checkout through providers such as Affirm, Klarna or Kueski where offered; it is a Laters.com checkout feature, not something an individual carrier switches on. Calafia Airlines is the exception on this page, since it has no flights on sale to put on a plan.

Which airlines accept pay in 4?

Pay-in-4 is one of the short, interest-free plan shapes available at the Laters.com checkout on an eligible booking, through providers such as Zip or Afterpay where offered, across the airlines Laters.com tickets. It is not available on Calafia Airlines, which has had no flights on sale since August 2024.

Is Flexpay worth it for flights?

Flex Pay is a direct-booking financing option some airlines offer through their own partner Uplift; it is not a Laters.com plan. Compare it against Laters.com's own pay-later providers, Affirm, Klarna, Kueski, Mercado Pago and Zip where offered, by searching your flight and checking the plans shown at checkout; Calafia Airlines itself has no flights to search.

Which airline allows you to pay in installments?

None of them switches it on itself. Laters.com adds the installment option at its own checkout across every airline it tickets, including Aeromexico, TAR Aerolineas and Viva Aerobus on Calafia Airlines' old Baja California Sur routes. Calafia Airlines itself has nothing to book, so no installment plan can be opened on it.

CAPA Calafia Airlines profile

Who is Calafia Airlines?

Calafia Airlines is a Mexican regional carrier based in Baja California Sur, formerly named Aereo Calafia. It began as an air-taxi service and took its current name in mid-2016. Its flying linked Baja California Sur with Sinaloa, Sonora and other Mexican Pacific cities, and for years it carried passengers between Los Mochis and La Paz.

It is not flying now. The airline suspended operations temporarily in August 2023, then stopped flying by its own decision in August 2024. In January 2025 Mexico's transport ministry suspended its operating permits after an inspection by the civil aviation agency. Its website and app, once used to sell tickets, are no longer available. So there is currently no Calafia Airlines seat to book on Laters.com or anywhere else.

We have no confirmed hub, alliance, loyalty program, rating or award for it, so we state none.

Paying later never changes how an airline treats you: the fare matches paying by card, the ticket follows the airline's own rules, and you fly as its passenger while spreading the cost. Paying later is credit, though. A missed installment has consequences with the provider, and a late fee may apply. Only split a fare you can comfortably repay. For the Mexican Pacific coast, compare Aeromexico, TAR Aerolineas and Viva Aerobus.

Fleet and on-time performance

Calafia Airlines was a regional operator, and its fleet reflected that. The aircraft types it used were Cessna, Embraer 145 and EMB 120 Brasilia. That is a mixed set of small types from two manufacturers, and nothing supplied points to long-haul flying. Its network ran across Baja California Sur and the Mexican Pacific coast, including Los Mochis and La Paz. No current fleet in service is confirmed, and no counts are given, because deliveries and retirements change them and the airline has stopped flying. Punctuality, cancellation rate and fleet age are left out rather than estimated, because none of them could be confirmed. That is a deliberate choice: a number we cannot confirm would be worse than a gap.
