Mexicana says it has made significant progress with its creditors allowing it to go forward with its debt restructuring and it now planes to start operations in the near future with seven aircraft and eleven routes.  Agreements with labor unions have been reached and Mexicana says it has 39 pilots, 80 flight attendants and 846 maintenance techs ready to go when they re-start.

If that 846 maintenance techs number is correct, I think I know who “won” among the labor unions.

Current plans call for Mexicana to start international routes to Los Angeles, Chicago, San Antonio, and Havana, Cuba and domestic routes to Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancun, Oaxaca, Tuxtla Gutierrez and Veracruz.  Although Mexico City isn’t named, I presume that these routes will be centered upon Mexico city itself.
