Mexican state-run airline Mexicana de Aviaci\u00f3n <\/strong>will kick off cargo flights soon, its chief executive said on Monday, and is eyeing opportunities to launch international flights throughout the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexicana, run by the military, re-started operations at the end of last year after the government bought the rights to the brand from a defunct airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, the carrier operates domestic passenger flights, using the also military-run airport outside of Mexico City as its hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Soon we’ll start offering cargo flights,” CEO Leobardo Avila said at a panel alongside business leaders, including the chief executive of Brazilian planemaker Embraer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexicana signed an agreement in June for 20 Embraer E2 jetliners. With their arrival, Avila said, Mexicana can greatly boost its offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEO did not say how soon Mexicana could launch cargo flights, but that it was targeting large supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexicana’s hub, the Felipe Angeles International Airport, is also a hub for cargo flights in the country. Outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador ordered cargo flights be moved there from the main Mexico City airport last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-year-old airport has already reached capacity, however, and the site is now expanding to accommodate more cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avila added that Mexicana was looking to take advantage of the so-called nearshoring trend, in which multinational firms move operations closer to their final destination, usually the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Mexicana is taking this as an opportunity to connect internationally, with North America, but also looking toward South America, the Caribbean,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
