Compañía Mexicana de Aviación (commonly known by the shorter name Mexicana) is the second largest international airline in Mexico and is based in Mexico City. It operates domestic services and international services to North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Its main base is Mexico City International Airport, with secondary hubs at Cancún International Airport and Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport, Guadalajara.
Its main competitor is Aeroméxico, although the two companies formerly "code-shared" on several routes and were merged for more than a decade. It is the world's fourth oldest airline, after the Netherland's KLM, Colombia's Avianca, and Australia's Qantas.
From 1995 to 2005, Mexicana was merged with AeroMéxico as a part of CINTRA. Despite government announcements indicating that the airlines were going to be privatized, that move did not occur until November 29, 2005, when CINTRA sold Mexicana and its subsidiary, Click Mexicana, to the Mexican hotel chain Grupo Posadas for USD$165.5 million. The road to privatization was long and winding. The government reversed its course on several occasions. At times, it proposed to sell Mexicana and AeroMéxico separately; other times, it proposed to sell them together to increase the bid price. It also proposed to sell the companies merged, but separate from their regional affiliates to increase competition. Several companies expressed interest in purchasing one or both of the airlines. For example, Iberia Airlines of Spain announced it had plans to buy part of both Mexicana and Aeroméxico. However Mexicana's owners rejected the offer possibly because another Iberia-owned Latin-American airline, Viasa of Venezuela, had gone bankrupt under Iberia's ownership. Further, Aerolíneas Argentinas had previously rejected a similar offer by Iberia.
2005 was an important year for Mexican aviation as several low cost carriers were established in Mexico to compete with AeroMéxico and Mexicana. For its part, Mexicana rebranded its regional subsidiary, AeroCaribe, as "Click Mexicana" and promotes it as a low cost carrier. This is part of the company's plan to remain competitive as the aviation industry changes and competition intensifies. Another component of this plan includes increasing its internationl presence. On July 12, 2006, Mexicana announced that it intends to open new routes to the United States to Seattle, Ontario, Detroit, Charlotte, and Puerto Rico; it is also negotiating with Arkansas officials to serve Little Rock. Of greater interest, perhaps, the airline is studying the possibility of opening flights to Shanghai, China in 2007. Should the airline undertake this challenge, it would mark an important achievement in its 85 year history. Mexicana is named as the best airline Latin America in 2006 and the best bussines in Central and Latin America. It is also planning to fly to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangkok by 2010 . The airline is wholly owned by Grupo Posadas and it has 7,874 employees (at June 2007).
