This weekend the new owners of Mexicana Airlines and its two affiliates, Click and Link, announded the suspension of all operations until further notice. Management said that it had been unable to reach an agreement with pilots and flight attendants unions nor with creditors. This probably means the end of one of the world’s oldest airlines. Mexicana traces its routes back to 1921, when what evolved into a major carrier was organized to fly payrolls to oil workers on the Gulf Coast, thus avoiding bandits who lurked on the highways.
