Nearly two years after it suspended operations and sought bankruptcy law protection, Aviacsa intends to take off once again. Inaugural flight is set from Mexico City to Monterrey on May 2, but some charter flights may be approved before then. International service, however, will not be re-instituted until 2013. These announcements should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. Mexicana gave several dates for its return to the air, but remains grounded. In Aviacsa, Roberto Madero has invested $40 million and has plans to invest $20 million more. He hopes to sell stock to other investors. Aviacsa plans to start off with a fleet of just five planes that will operate 26 flights a day.
