The Communications Ministry has designated Adolfo Christlieb administrator of bankrupt Mexicana Airlines. Christlieb, who formerly was an executive with the company, most recently has been serving as president of the Airline Chamber. His task now will be to see which debtors receive what share of Mexicana’s assets.
Mexicana was purchased a few weeks ago for the equivalent of $77. The former owners bought it from the government some 44 months ago and reportedly lost the several hundred million dollars they invested. Aeroméxico has confirmed it has no interest in buying what remains of Mexicana. Domestic airlines have moved in to operate several routes Mexicana no longer serves while Delta and Alaska are applying for others. The struggle now is to see who will get the Mexicana slots at the Mexico City airport.
