Mexicana de Aviación receives seventh Embraer jet, aims for 20 aircraft by 2027

Mexicana de Aviación has welcomed its seventh Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, a significant step in its fleet modernization and expansion strategy. The airline aims to grow its Embraer fleet to 20 aircraft by the end of 2027.

This new addition, registered as XA-MXG, will undergo technical and regulatory procedures to boost Mexicana's operational capacity. The E190-E2 model is recognized for its operational efficiency, offering reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions, alongside being one of the quietest aircraft available. Its 2+2 seat configuration is designed to ensure passenger comfort.

Leobardo Ávila Bojórquez, the airline's CEO, stated that each new aircraft represents more than just advanced technology. "It represents confidence, opportunities, the commitment to bring people closer, strengthen communities, and build a more connected Mexico," he said. He highlighted that the fleet has grown by 40% compared to the previous year, increasing seat availability by 33% to meet growing demand.

The airline is actively expanding its reach across Mexico. New routes are scheduled to launch in July, connecting Mexico City's AIFA with Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chihuahua, Hermosillo, and León/Guanajuato. Bojórquez emphasized that each new route opens doors for tourism, investment, commerce, and regional development, ultimately fostering national integration. "We can proudly say that over a million and seventy thousand passengers have chosen to fly with Mexicana," he added.
