Another airline hopes to fly again


Aviacsa, which folded its wings in the summer of 2009, hopes to soar once more, starting on Valentine’s Day. The carrier, seventh in size among Mexico’s airlines two years ago, has recruited a new chief executive from rival Volaris and initiated a series of test flights. This time, however, it will begin with only six or possibly eight planes compared to the 25 in its fleet previously. Based in Monterrey, it probably will start off flying to Mexico City, Cancun and Villahermosa, in an oil producing area.
