AMLO will make a millionaire payment to buy the brand of his airline

The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, closed the purchase of Mexicana de Aviación and this Thursday he 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. .

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.

Included in the acquisition by the Mexican government are 14 affiliated brands of Mexicana de Aviación, in addition to two airline buildings.

AMLO’s plan is to open the airline, which will be low-cost, and managed by the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena). It will be at the service of destinations that are not served by commercial airlines and with this it intends to boost the Mexican air market.

as reported REPORTUR.mx, it is doubtful that the airline will start operating on December 1, as the secretary of tourism Miguel Torruco has assured on several occasions. First, because the process for the purchase of Mexicana de Aviación has not been completed; second, because it does not have an aviation manual; third, because it still lacks pilots, and fourth, it does not yet have defined destinations for the planes it says it will operate. As an addition, it does not have the necessary AOC certificate either. (AMLO’s airline: experts doubt takeoff in 4 months).
