Mexicana de Aviación, a new state-run airline, has started selling tickets to 20 national locations, with special deals to mark the occasion.
The government has said that Mexicana’s tickets will be 20% cheaper than those of its competitors, and prices on the airline’s website do show that they are cheaper than those of other local airlines. For example, a one-way trip from AIFA to Guadalajara starts at 519 pesos, which is about US$29. Viva Aerobus, on the other hand, starts at $1031 (US$57) for the same trip.
