Volaris gets Mexicana’s US slots


The U. S. Department of Transportation has authorized Volaris to operate Mexicana Airlines’ Monterrey-Chicago and Mexico City — Los Angeles and Mexico City — Las Vegas routes. Mexicana has been grounded for several months due to financial problems, but would get its routes back if it starts flying again. Volaris, a new, low-fare carrier, will now be able to offer service to seven U.S. cities, five of them in California.
