Mexicana de Aviación (legally Aerolínea del Estado Mexicano, S.A. de C.V.)[1] is a state owned airline established on May 18, 2023, and is operating under the commercial name Mexicana de Aviación after the Mexican government finalized the transfer of rights of the airline's brands and assets on August 9, 2023.

The airline is managed by the Secretariat of National Defense and its headquarters is at Felipe Ángeles International Airport.

History

On May 18, 2023,[2] the Official Journal of the Federation[3] listed the creation of the company Aerolínea del Estado Mexicano, S.A. de C.V, that will "promote, operate and provide the public service of national and international regular air transport of passengers, cargo, mail or a combination of these, on its own account or through public or private persons.”[4]

In August 2023, deals were finalized by the Mexican government, which introduced the airline during a press conference. After briefly launching ticket pre-sales in September, the airline planned to begin operations in December 2023.[5][6][7]

In October 2023, the airline was granted an Assignment Title by the Federal Civil Aviation Agency.[8][9]

Operations

The airline intended to start operations on December 1, 2023, with a planned fleet of 10 Boeing 737-800 aircraft. However, in November 2023, the airline did not yet receive a valid Air Operator Certificate at the time and Boeing postponed delivery of the 737 planes.[10][11] The airline used an Embraer 145 aircraft for certification, wet leased from TAR Aerolíneas, and was registered as "XA-VGQ".[12][13] The airline initially reduced its destination count from 20 to 9 destinations.[14][15] The fleet will consist of two Boeing 737-800 and one 737-300 jets, all inherited from the Mexican Air Force.[16]

The first aircraft was delivered in December 17, 2023, registered as "XA-ASM".[16] It made its maiden test flight from Santa Lucia to Tijuana.[17]

It began its inaugural flight from AIFA to Tulum.[18]

Select flights are operated in partnership with TAR, using two of its 50-seated Embraer 145 planes.[18][19][20][21]

Destinations

The airline operates to a total of 15 destinations within Mexico, including 6 operated by TAR; all from its hub in Santa Lucia.[21]
