Mexican LCCs: Aviacsa's More of a Veteran, But Still in Trouble

Like several other Mexican low cost carriers, Aviacsa has been looking a little shaky lately. But the carrier, which has a history back to 1990--longer than most other budget lines--avoided the threat of having their operations suspended recently for not paying government airspace royalties. That's something that Avolar and Aerocalifornia didn't quite manage.

Aviacsa still flies to more than a dozen Mexican destinations plus Las Vegas, but that's after cutting out a few due to rising fuel costs. They say they're just trying to consolidate their routes and trying to "be more productive"--in other words, "Don't worry gang, we're still flying."

Aviacsa certainly seems one of the sturdier Mexican LCCs but we wouldn't be booking an expensive flight for any time too far into the future.
