It now seems that Mexicana, the well known Mexican airline, has indefinitely suspended ticket sales as it struggles to restructure its debts. The airline confirmed that it had begun bankruptcy proceedings in Mexico City and in New York earlier this week. The company insisted it would continue its operations as normal.

However, according to reports, tickets sales were suspended at 18:00 local time Wednesday night. The latest development does not affect the subsidiary Click and Link airlines. They fly routes inside Mexico as well.

Mexicana insisted that it would continue to operate all flights for passengers who are holding existing tickets. However, it would not be selling anymore tickets for future flights. The statement from the airline went on to explain that the decision affects only Compania Mexicana de Aviaion ticket sales.

They continued on by saying that both MexicanaClick and MexicanaLink are independent carriers and will therefore continue to sell and operate their domestic flights as normal through all traditional channels. The airline has also confirmed negations with employees and creditors were ongoing with the hope of a positive outcome.

Meixcanan did operate roughly 220 daily flights. Almost all off these flights were to foreign destinations. However, it remains very unclear which will operate following a decision to cancel a number of departures. An average of 22,000 passengers use to fly with the airline each and every day. However, this number has, of course, changed since these finical problems.

Of course, employees have continued to demonstrate opposed job cuts at the airline. More than 200 pilots and 100 members of the Mexican Electrical Workers union are gathering outside Mexicana’s headquarters.
