Due to its financial conditions Mexicana Airlines cancelled flights to Argentina, Spain, England, Brazil and Costa Rica from Mexico. Flights will be reduced to "a minimum" over the coming days, the company said, while its regional units MexicanaClick and MexicanaLinks are now also beginning to feel the repercussions of its financial turmoil.
"Mexicana Airlines will be forced to cancel certain flights over coming days to optimize available resources and ensure that priority is given to homebound passengers," the company said in a statement.
Mexico’s largest airline by passengers, Mexicana filed for bankruptcy protection in Mexico and the U.S. last week, blaming the decision on the high cost of labor. The company, a unit of Grupo Mexicana de Aviacion, had been in talks with its unions to lower expenses.
