Mexico had been planning to give military-affiliated businesses a space for domestic tourism projects. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador or popularly known as AMLO, finally launched the state-run airline Mexicana de Aviacion.

Obrador’s government had previously built an airport to accommodate the growing population in Mexico City.

The carrier’s first flight was also known as Tulum, which is a well-known beach location in the southeast of the country. Mexicana. This was named for a state airline that has since ceased its operations. But it used to fly to 14 locations before adding domestic flights over time.

Referring to some of the government’s major infrastructure projects, AMLO, the president, told the media that this newly launched airline will be controlled by the Olmeca-Maya-Mexica company that will be instrumental in overseeing trains, airports, especially the Maya Train and Mexicana de Aviacion, in addition to other complementary companies with hotels and ecological parks.

In addition, Defence Secretary Luis Sandoval has further claimed that although the air carrier began operating with five aircraft, it is now in negotiations with Boeing Co. over the possibility of acquiring more in the year 2024. The government aims and promote the company as a brilliant travel option in terms of affordability.

The government acquired the rights to the name Mexicana de Aviacion while bankruptcy proceedings were underway after the company ceased operations in 2010. The states of Baja California, Yucatan and Nuevo Leon will be the first stops.

Military-run airlines can only be found in only a few nations, including Argentina, Cuba, Colombia, and Sri Lanka. With a few prop planes, they happen to be primarily tiny carriers that fly on isolated or uncharted domestic routes.

Earlier, the Mexican government had owned a plethora of enterprises that were subjected to a bad image for providing subpar services, inefficient malicious political influence, and displaying corruption. For instance, newsprint for opposition newspapers was frequently turned down by Mexico’s state-run paper delivery corporation.

After such a historically bad record the government plans to bring its splendour back to its feet. The administration portrays its attempts to replicate them on a reduced scale as a significant endeavour to bring Mexico’s economy back to a more collective era.
