MEXICO CITY, Nov 22, 2004 (Cronica/Corporate Mexico by Internet Securities, Inc. via COMTEX) -- The Mexican government has given the green light for the new airline A Volar Aerolineas to begin operating. The new firm will specialize in offering low-cost, domestic flights.
The director of the firm, Jorge Nehme, stated that A Volar expects to begin operating some time next year, since on Oct. 27 authorities granted it an operating license for domestic, commercial flights. "We are looking to be an alternative in the air market for users that demand more options", stated Nehme.
Meanwhile, a group of businessmen are waiting to receive authorization from the Transportation and Communications Secretariat (SCT) to begin participating in the commercial aviation market with the new airline to be called Mesoamerica, which plans to fly between Mexico and several Central American destinations.
As regards international firms, for now there is only interest to begin flying to new routes not yet authorized, stated Gilberto Lopez Meyer, general manager of Civil Aviation. He added, however, that several international companies have expressed an interest in flying to Mexico, although there are no concrete plans to announce.
