The government of Mexico has agreed to buy the Mexicana airline brand for $42 million
A union spokesman told Reuters that the Mexican government signed a deal with several aviation unions on Friday to buy the brand of the defunct Mexicana airline for 811.1 million Mexican pesos ($42.41 million).
According to pilots’ union spokesman Jose Alonso, the agreement includes the rights to use the airline’s brand as well as the purchase of two buildings, a technical training center and a flight simulator. He added that a payment schedule has yet to be agreed upon.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has stated that the government intends to launch a military-run commercial airline using Mexicana.
According to Alonso, the payment will be divided proportionally among the pilots’ union ASPA, flight attendants’ union ASSA, ex-aviation workers’ union AJTEAM, and transportation workers’ union SNTTTASS.
