Everything about Aviacsa totally explained
Aviacsa (Consorcio Aviaxsa, S.A. de C.V.) is an
airline based in
Monterrey,
Mexico. It operates extensive domestic services radiating from major hubs at
Monterrey,
Mexico City,
Guadalajara and
León, with extensions from Monterrey and Mexico City to four cities in the
USA.
History
The airline was established on
5 May 1990 by the government of the
Mexican state of
Chiapas in order to fulfil the transportation needs of the fast-growing communities located in that state. It operated its first flight on
September 20,
1990, using one 89-seat
British Aerospace 146 (
BAe 146) regional aircraft between
Mexico City and the cities of
Tapachula, and
Tuxtla Gutiérrez, both located in the state of Chiapas. By the end of the year, the airline received a second
BAe 146 and had initiated service from the two towns in Chiapas to
Villahermosa,
Mérida,
Oaxaca,
Chetumal, and
Cancún.
In
1991 Aviacsa exchanged its fleet of
BAe 146 aircraft for four 108-seat
Fokker F100 aircraft. With these new planes, the airline was able to initiate flights from
Monterrey to
Mérida and
Cancún, as well as service from
Mexico City to
Mérida and
Villahermosa. Between 1992 and 1995 its main operation hubs were
Mérida and
Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
In
1994 Aviacsa once again changed its fleet of Fokker F100s for a fleet of four 164-seat
Boeing 727-200s. The airline also launched a charter division, temporarily utilising the Fokker F100s. The company was privatized and sold to Aerojecutivo, also known as Aeroexo, a charter company based in Monterrey. Its new CEO, Alejandro Morales Mega, reconfigured the company's fleet, but due to financial difficulties, he fled from Mexico to avoid pending lawsuits against him. His brother, Eduardo Morales, took charge of the company.
In
1997 Aviacsa leased two
Douglas DC-9-15 aircraft and was able to increase frequencies to its destinations. It announced that in its three years of charter operations, it had successfully carried out 1020 charter flights to cities within
Mexico, the
United States, the
Caribbean,
Central America, and
South America. In December
1999 the airline acquired four
Boeing 737-200s and added them to its fleet.
Between
2000 and
2005 Aviacsa used its small fleet to introduce new flights and destinations throughout Mexico, as well as scheduled service to five
US cities. In 2000, it changed its image, slogan, and corporate logo. Between
2001 and
2004, the airline began leasing and purchasing used 737-200s to help increase its route capabilities. In 2005 it suspended service to
Chicago and to
Miami. Aviacsa will resume flights to Miami, from both Cancun and Monterrey, in December 2007. Currently, it's the third largest airline in Mexico, as well as the fastest growing.
