Meanwhile, reservations and payment for nine other destinations within the country will continue on that same date.

The director of the Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion Council, Javier Aranda Pedrero, said he was unaware of the information issued by the airline.

The airline had paused its sale because it did not have the assignment title from the Federal Civil Aviation Agency, which was granted at the end of October.

Although no further information was given about when they will resume sales for Quintana Roo, the promotion of Mexican Caribbean destinations continues on the Mexicana website.

At the time, the Federal Civil Aviation Agency had contemplated serving points that have a low demand for connectivity , especially towards the North of the country, which is why we had to wait for permits to define the operation and start of the service. airline. 

According to the programming of the Mexican government and the company, the airline’s operations are projected to formally start on Monday, December 2.
