¿Could the government could rescue them?....I mean, they need a functional airline based at their fantasy-based Santa Lucía airport and Interjet is a good option for that matter. Specially since they (government) have shown some antipathy towards AM and other airlines.
Jump to postWhy would anyone want to go to GDL, much less Mexico in general? LOL, you tried And failed... Dear Bravo One, Mexico is much more than generic Cancun beaches, drug violence and incompetent politicians. We are not telling you why would anyone want to visit Mexico, look it for yourself. And exclude t...
Jump to postYes, but we are not talking about the awesome new MEX... The one he´s talking about (AMLO, the president) is the improvised Santa Lucía Airport, the project he is defending since one of his best friends and partners-and the one behind Santa Lucia Airport project- was left out of the MEX competition ...

Here are some more : CX Aeroflot? Will AF operate any or are they all for KLM? Aeromexico? Regarding Aeroméxico, I ´ve read in other forums that the Boeing 787-10 could serve well on the airline´s services to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris and ocassional North America (LAX, JFK) ...
Jump to postAlitalia has been flying to Buenos Aires since the late 1940´s, and KLM´s Buenos Aires service (also started in the 1940´s) was restarted in 2011 after being absent for a decade or so... They are not that new... but Norwegian, LEVEL and Edelweiss surely are.
Jump to postMexico City has a large population. But the city itself is not that big. I mean, distances are not excessive. The thing is that the whole city is congested, traffic is hellish and mass transportation is not enough. Besides, topography doesn´t help much either... I think building a new PCA, upgrading...
Jump to postThose techincal issues were already solved. The other proyect is also going to be developed on top of a low ground, flood-prone zone and even worse ground quality.

Jump to postLH520/521, MUC-MEX-MUC, was changed from an A350-600 to A350-900. In fact, the A359 is on it´s way from Germany to Mexico, over Québec, as I write this post.
Jump to postSorry, can´t recall where, but I read that Iberia won´t send the A359 to MEX and UIO -two of the airline´s top routes- because the plane would struggle to haul all those passengers and freight, an achievement done almost effortlessly by the A340-600. Instead, they remarked that A346s were recently u...
Jump to postFORGOT TO QUOTE REPLY # 50, BY pabloeing But Iberia is all about Airbus. I see the 350K instead of a 777. For increased capacity to some stellar transatlantic routes (MEX, BOG, EZE,etc) I´m sure they´ll order the A350-1000, and for cargo hauling and range the A330/340/350 families have the capacity...
Jump to postSCT, Mexico's Ministry of Transport , said that the aircraft never left the ground. But the cabin video appears to show otherwise, as the plane rose a little bit and then slammed against the runway at least a couple of times. Mmmmm.....As a mexican, I have some doubts regarding SCT. Not Aeromexico, ...
Jump to postIf corruption is a "human error", yes, the article is right. Everyone knows that Global Air operates aircraft beyond their limits, omits security measures and pays authorities to avoid negative press. Recent intwerviews with former captain, mechanics and stewardess confirms it. But well, i...
Jump to postThe thing is that most of Mexico City´s ground has varying amounts of water, so normal movement is amplified and tends to last longer than the actual earthquake. Add a mountain range bordering the city and you get amplified waves coming back and forth, creating peaks. That´s why a not so damaging ea...

Jump to postI believe some 4x 787-10s sitting around 300-320 pax. could be useful on the South America (EZE,GRU) and Europe (MAD, CDG) routes. That could free some 787-8/9s for Asia, upgrading AMS or LHR (a success, or so I´ve heard) and opening a new Asian or European destination.
Don´t you think?

It will replace the current one, mostly for technical reasons, as flight paths might intersect. Actual MEX will close at the same time the first flight lands at new MEX. The old MEX will be urbanized; a park, residential and commercial development are considered. Some say a transportation hub will b...

Jump to postMEX can handle multiple large planes. Of course it can. It can be a hellish experience as a passenger. But again, there has been up to 2 A380s at the same time, a situation that isn´t as rare as it might look. Many have said it before, A380s could cover at least EZE and MEX. But again, they seem to ...
Jump to postI believe that the issue Alitalia has with MEX has something to do with Aeroméxico and Delta´s JV and with MEX being a hot and high airport (someone said in another aviation forum that only 70% of the seats are bookable on the return flight from MEX)...Besides, there are some rumors on AM launching ...
Jump to postWhat about AM? I can see some from MEX to MAD, CDG, GRU and EZE, as well as some domestic (TIJ, for example) and Mexico-US flights.
Jump to postI know they fly the 787-8 within the Americas from Bogotá to New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Mexico City, Lima, Santiago, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. Also to some domestic destinations. So I suppose the A333 will operate those routes to free some 787 to increase Madrid and start Munich. I´ve heard the...

Jump to postLast week they retired the 744 from the LHR-MEX route... They introduced the B789 and some say it might send the A351 when ready. Not because of the retirement per se, but there’s some relation, isn’t it?
All LHR-Latin America routes are now operated with the 772, 77E, 77W and the 789.

AM or KE should really start MEX-ICN. I'm sure there's a ton of auto industry traffic there. AM has, in fact, applied for MEX-MTY-ICN-MEX route using 787-8.
