Aeroméxico reports

A 35 percent increase in the number of passengers carried during June was reported by Aeroméxico. International routes accounted for the biggest increase, 50 percent more than last year. Occupancy levels hit more the 78 percent. While not mentioned in reports, Aeroméxico clearly has benefitted from the absence of its major competitor, Mexicana Airlines. Aeroméxico itself had sought bankruptcy protection prior to being acquired by an investment group led by Banamex, which, in turn, is owned by Citibank.
