Click quits low-fare model


Click, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Mexicana Airlines, is now considered by its parent to be a regional carrier, not a low-fare alternative. Click began as AeroCaribe, or, officially, Aerovías Caribe. The name change was announced in 2005. At the time, Mexicana declared Click would be a low-fare carrier.

No more. Click, and the other Mexicana affiliate Link, now are regarded as feeder or regional airlines. There are no plans, however, to officially merge the two into Mexicana. Click flies Fokker 100s and Boeing 717s which Link operates Canadaair 200s.
