Mexicana Mess

This week a bankruptcy court was expected to declare Mexicana Airlines legally dead and order that its assets be sold to satisfy creditors. Last minute offers to revive the carrier — grounded since August of 2010 — failed when required funds could not be produced. Nonetheless, the presiding judge ruled that the case will remain open indefinitely and ordered that slots being used provisionally by other airlines be returned. Volaris filed for an injunction against the ruling and Interjet has asked that the judge be replaced.
