Because they separate to Latam? Do they not belong to the same holding?? If they join they are a tie with Volaris
They are a holding company, but they are airlines that operate independently with their own operator certificates. It would be like uniting Avianca Costa Rica, El Salvador and Ecuador with Avianca Colombia, same group, but they are independent.
With Cup many times. Very punctual and good service. Expensive fares and does not have any double aisles for trips of more than 6 hours, like the entire southern cone and the west coast of the USA, like SFO.
