The new Mexicana de Aviación that the AMLO government has just acquired will start with 10 Boeing 737s and with 20% lower rates. The company will be part of the Mexica-Maya-Olmeca Group, which includes several airports, including AIFA.
The Secretary of National Defense (Sedena) has chosen Boeing to fly the airline’s routes through the nexus because its fleet belongs to Seattle and they already have experience in terms of maintenance, training and simulators, as Alberto Aguilar analyzes it in his column in the newspaper Correo.
The 737-800 have capacity for 180 passengers that will connect for the moment on main routes in Mexico, including to Cancun, Los Cabos, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana from the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA), which will be its hub, in addition to the airport. What will Tulum have?
Apparently, the investment of Mexicana de Aviación is quite high with the operating expenses that an airline supposes and with 20% cheaper rates.
The group of the new state airline owns airports, and will also compete with commercial routes operated by companies such as Aeroméxico by Andrés Conesa, Volaris by Enrique Beltranena and Viva by Roberto Alcántara, although the Mexicana fleet is far below the others. , has only announced 20 planes in total, while Aeroméxico has 150 or Volaris’ 130.
as reported REPORTUR.mx, AMLO, closed the purchase of Mexicana de Aviación and this Thursday his government will deliver the millionaire check that he will pay to his former workers with the sum of 816 million Mexican pesos, which in dollars would be close to 48 million. (AMLO will make a millionaire payment to buy the brand of his airline).
Although the amount of the payment does not cover the total of the liquidations of the workers, it is considered that it is the only fair alternative that they have. According to sources from El Financiero, this Wednesday the agreements for the assignment of the rights to the brand and assets of the airline that has not operated since 2010 were signed.
