Hey guys, a bit more on Mexicana. No – They will not use former MX space in MEX, the airline’s base will be in NLU – The new airport. (and Tulum in the future) The whole (dumb) idea is to give the airport exposure, and also a major tantrum from the current administration vs the other airlines, since none of them have really been interested bin selecting NLU as a hub. Wet lease will not include flight attendants. Regarding the law issue – Its even worse since they just allowed them to run NLU, the new Tulum airport, Palenque airport, and the airline as a holding. They claim Boeing gives advice and support – Never giving further details. So yes, this project is really populist, silly and will most likely be in the red since inception.
Completely makes sense re the airports. Should’ve realized that. The lease bit is still very strange. I can’t wait to see how that plays out.
