I hope this is a real solution for everybody. Personally I have missed Mexicana.

Seven airplanes is hardly an airline of significant size. Frankly, I don't see it being worth the bother.

What I'd like to see is Volaris expanding their route, particularly to DFW. Every time I fly with them I'm amazed at how they are superior to almost every other airline I fly on. Paricularly American and Southwest.

I have switched to Interjet, and am very happy, I wonder if Mexicana will honor the tickets I got stuck with, filed with complaint dept and never heard back..

The airline was in bankruptcy therefore most unlikely they would not homor previous tickets as the emerge as a new company.

PR wise they might offer discount toward furture flighs. Bankruptcy discharges all previous debts and depending how they liisted outstanding obligations.

Just a victim of corporate mismanagement, but I will never fly Mexicana again, and I am a very frequont flyer between Mex City and GDL every three weeks, so will stick with Interjet..
