Mexicana de Aviación marked the beginning of a new era in its operations by putting its first Embraer E195-E2 into service. The aircraft, with registration XA-MXA, took off at 10:20 AM on its inaugural commercial flight from the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) bound for the Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport in Tulum, where it landed at 1:02 PM.
This event represents the incorporation of state-of-the-art technology into the state-owned company's fleet. "We are starting a new era in national aviation by introducing advanced, cutting-edge technologies that allow us to be more competitive in the air transport industry," said Leobardo Ávila Bojórquez, general director of Mexicana de Aviación.
The inauguration ceremony at the AIFA facilities was attended by authorities from Mexicana, the Secretariat of Tourism, and the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena). The first Embraer E195-E2, delivered to the airline on July 1st, departed with its first passengers to one of the country's key tourist destinations.
Last Saturday, the company received the third aircraft of this model. The delivery plan includes receiving two additional E195-E2 aircraft in November and December of this year. Once this first group of five planes is complete, Mexicana will proceed to return its Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft to the Mexican Air Force.
