The state-run airline Mexicana de Aviación has unveiled its fresh website and an initial selection of 20 domestic destinations, with plans to commence operations this December.
This upcoming airline will provide travelers with three distinct destination categories: “beach,” “adventure,” and “business.” Mexicana de Aviación has disclosed that its ticket prices will be 18 to 20% more economical compared to leading domestic competitors such as Volaris, VivaAerobus, and Aeroméxico.
The beach destinations encompass a variety of Mexico’s renowned resort towns, including Acapulco, Cancún, Cozumel, Huatulco, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, La Paz, Los Cabos, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta.
Meanwhile, for those seeking adventure, flights will be available to Chetumal, Hermosillo, Mérida, and Oaxaca. Business travelers will have access to flights to Bajío International Airport in León, Guanajuato, as well as to key regional business hubs such as Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Villahermosa.
The airline, which has acquired the rights to the former Mexicana de Aviación brand, is set to establish operational bases at both Mexico City’s Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) and the forthcoming Tulum airport, slated to open later this year.
Mexicana has further revealed its customer-friendly approach, with plans to waive fees for checked baggage under 15 kilograms, provide complimentary seat selection, and offer free beverages during its initial launch phase. The airline will operate a modern fleet consisting of 10 Boeing 737-800 series aircraft, with the first three anticipated for delivery as early as next week, as reported by Infobae.
In a statement posted on its official website, the airline has articulated its mission to deliver air transportation services that prioritize accessibility, safety, trust, and quality for all passengers, while concurrently championing Mexico’s social and cultural values.
With aspirations to secure a 6% share of the domestic travel market, the airline plans to commence operations with a staff of fewer than 410 employees. The military-affiliated Olmeca-Maya-Mexico group, the owner of the airline, will also oversee operations at both AIFA and the forthcoming Maya Train project, which is slated to inaugurate services in December.
