The flights are operated with aircraft wet leased from TAR Aerolíneas.
On Tuesday, Mexicana de Aviación returned to the skies after 13 years grounded following the bankruptcy of the first iteration of this historic company. This second iteration, owned and managed by Mexico’s National Defense Secretariat, operates from the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) with a fleet of military Boeing 737-800s. Little known was the fact that a second airline launched operations on Tuesday, Mexicana’s regional branch, Link Conexión Aérea, a company employing wet-leased Embraer E145 aircraft.
