• Luis Ramos has stepped down as CEO of PrimeFlight Aviation Services México (formerly Aerocharter de México) after nine years of leadership.
• Under his tenure, the company expanded from 3 to 18 airports and grew to nearly 3,000 employees. While transitioning to focus fully on Awesome Cargo and AerocharterUS, Ramos will continue to support PrimeFlight as a board member.
• He described the move as a “mature transition” that reflects continuity, not disruption, and thanked partners including Atlas Air and Viva for their early trust in the cargo platform’s growth.

Luis Ramos has officially announced his departure as CEO of PrimeFlight Aviation Services México, formerly Aerocharter de México, marking the close of a significant leadership chapter and the start of a new strategic focus on Awesome Cargo and AerocharterUS.

In a reflective LinkedIn post shared earlier this week, Ramos described the move not as an ending, but an evolution:

“This transition is not a departure from the mission, but an evolution of my role.”
Ramos, whose family has deep roots in the business, led the company through transformational growth over the past nine years. Under his leadership, PrimeFlight México scaled from 44 employees across 3 airports to nearly 3,000 team members operating in 18 airports, delivering expanded capabilities and market share while maintaining a core focus on integrity, discipline, and long-term value creation.

He credited the trust of partners such as Atlas Air, Viva, and a roster of global customers — including UPS, DHL, Lufthansa Cargo, Air France, Mercado Libre, Emirates, and others — as critical to that journey.

“Our first global customer Atlas Air entrusted me with their business, and Viva allowed us to build a cargo platform where there was nothing — growing our mutual cargo business to over 16% of the domestic market share and 30 million kilos moved annually.”
Though stepping down as CEO, Ramos will remain involved as a Board Member, supporting the business through governance and contract continuity. His successor, along with the executive team, will carry forward the company’s next phase under the leadership of Dan Bucaro, Wayne Ingle, and Shawnpaul Booth.

Ramos concludes by expressing deep gratitude to his team and family legacy:

“This is not a goodbye. It is a mature transition—one that honors the past, strengthens the present, and respects the future.”
