The uproar caused by the announcement of the reservation of flights by Mexicana de Aviación, operated by the Army did not last, since the airline suspended the service for a reason.
The unexpected announcement states that flights cannot be booked on the military airline, which has started on the wrong foot, can be seen on its website, where a legend shows: “Wait for this new way of traveling, don’t miss it! !”
Mexicana de Aviación suspended flight reservations for a reason. The reason why Mexicana de Aviación suspended flight reservations is that the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), to whom President Andrés Manuel López Obrador transferred control and operation, has not yet obtained the certificate to give service.
It happens that the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) and the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) have not issued the Air Services Operator Certificate.
To obtain the certificate that the Mexican Aviation AFAC must grant and meet a series of requirements, such as detailing the organic structure, types of aircraft, maintenance workshops, routes, rates, points of sale, and frequencies, among others.
It is known that Sedena has already started the process before the aeronautical authority, so the reservation and sale of flights will be enabled until the certificate is authorized. For this reason, the announcement of opening reservations without the corresponding permit seems more like a marketing strategy. to be in the minds and options of potential consumers.
