Mexicana de Aviación suspends 8 routes
Mexicana de Aviación announced a major adjustment to its operations. Starting today, January 6, the airline will cease operating eight routes from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) to several domestic destinations as part of an operational restructuring plan.
The affected routes include destinations such as Acapulco, Campeche, Guadalajara, Ixtapa, Nuevo Laredo, Puerto Vallarta, Uruapan and Villahermosa, which were operated on Embraer 145 aircraft leased from TAR Aerolineas.

Despite the route suspensions, routes to key destinations such as Tijuana, Mazatlán, San José del Cabo, Guadalajara, Mérida, Tulum, and Chetumal will remain unchanged, thanks to the three Boeing 737-800 aircraft the airline operates. These planes, with a capacity of 176 passengers, are essential for maintaining robust service on high-demand routes.
Expansion Plans and Fleet Modernization
A key aspect is the arrival of the first new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, expected between April and June this year. These aircraft, with a capacity of 132 seats, will allow Mexicana de Aviación not only to maintain but also to expand its coverage, including the possibility of launching international routes to North, Central, and South America.
The airline ordered 20 aircraft from Embraer in June 2024: 10 E190-E2 and 10 E195-E2.
Leobardo Ávila, the airline’s director, emphasized that these additions represent a significant step forward in connectivity and Mexico’s economic reactivation, providing more efficient and safer air transport.
