Mexico |
Mexico's air transportation system is generally considered to be adequate enough to handle projected levels of passenger as well as freight traffic. This has been the scenario through the end of the 1990s. In 1994 Mexico had a total operational airfields or airstrips of 1,585. Among these 202 had permanent-surface runways as well. There are forty-four international as well as thirty-eight domestic airports which offer services to all the major Mexican cities. Mexico's principal airport as well as the main air transportation hub is Benito Juárez International Airport, which is located on the outskirts of Mexico City. Other major airports are at Monterrey, Guadalajara, Mérida, and Cancún which also handle large volumes of air traffic.
Air transport services in Mexico consists of passenger travel which also includes air freight representing only 0.03 percent by weight of total cargo transported by all modes in 1994. Mexico's proximity and extensive overland as well as maritime links to the United States which is its main trading partner, account in large measure for the relatively light use of aircraft to the transport freight.
| In 1992 Mexico had around seventy-seven domestic airlines. Among these two of the aviation companies Aeronaves de México (Aeroméxico) and Mexican Aviation Company (Compañía Mexicana de Aviación--Mexicana) are also known for their international stature. Aeroméxico was sold to the private investors in June 1989 after it had declared itself bankrupt. Aeroméxico is known to have maintained consistent on-time performance since its privatization. Also in the year 1989, the government has sold half of its 51 percent stake in Mexicana to the private investors.

In the year 1993 Mexican aircraft flew a total of 325 million kilometers and also carried 20 million passengers. Mexico has direct air connections, through Mexicana and Aeroméxico, to different parts of United States, Canada, Europe, Australia as well as the rest of Latin America. In 1994 twenty-eight international airlines provided regular scheduled service from Mexico City to major cities in Europe, Japan, the United States, and the rest of Latin America. In addition, a variety of foreign and domestic air charter services flew directly to the major resort areas of the country.
Two major airlines of Mexico are Aeromexico and Mexicana which is known to offer the most unrestricted travel schedules and routes within Mexico’s transportation network. Both Mexican airlines have airports throughout the country. Because so flying from one city to another is safe as well as safe. You should also Keep in mind that while Mexico’s air transportation is vast, the domestic flights can also be relatively expensive because both airlines are owned by the same company. Thus there is no battle over lower flights. Although there are smaller independent airlines which exist in Mexico, the air transportation routes and schedules tend to be limited as well.
