Mexicana on the edge of bankruptcy?

[galaxy]

very sad news for all pax and employees...

Good news for some cheap acquisition to SN replacement ?

[Jetairfly]

Well, I guess it is now official .

Sad to see another great carrier with a incredible history disappear!

Is Avianca now the oldest South American carrier?

Perhaps . Can you imagine Brussels Airlines opperating Airbus A318's or Boeing 717's? It seems that there are even some Airbus A330's on the market now .

No, seriously . Does anyone know what aircraft Mexcicana actually owned? You can't sell aircraft if they aren't your property .

Do you see Mexcinana coming back (cfr. Sabena -> SN Brussels Airlines -> Brussels Airlines)?

Hope so .. but as Belgium had only one player in the market,
how would AEROMEXICO react?
Aeromexico is now the only 'big'player left ... ,
maybe they could take over routings,planes cheap and form a new AEROMEXICANA like we saw with
SN/Virgin Express

Hmmm,

all of a sudden 25 A319's and 30 A320's available... I wonder where the next SN birds will come from

Indeed, it wouldn't be a surprise when we'll see some ex-Mexicana aircraft flying in BRU in the future.

BTW, their 2 A332's, were they leased? Because when you take in mind that SN wants non-stop routes and TATL services in the future, the A332 could be a possibility. Altough, when I need to be serious, I doubt they will lease two A332's in 2010/2011, altough it would be nice.

Yes, both are leased from CIT Aerospace.

Yes, both are leased from CIT Aerospace.

Thanks. They are both build in 2008, would be nice for SN, but I don't think it's realistic that SN will ever get these.

BTW, N429MX (an A319) has a Belgian history. It was OO-SSN, delivered on 27 July 2001 to Sabena. It was the oldest A319 of Mexicana.
