Bankrupt Mexicana Stops All Flights, but They Could Still Come Back
Apparently that last minute infusion of cash was not enough, as Mexicana and its planes might be going to that big terminal in the sky. Over the weekend, the troubled airline shut down all flights until further notice, as they continued to blame all of their money issues.
Things were struggling on Friday like the past few weeks, but by Saturday afternoon, the planes stayed parked at their gates. Mexicana wants passengers stuck with tickets to visit their website to request a refund. There’s a pretty straightforward refund form that can be filled out online, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be saving your cash anytime soon. For those stuck away from home, Aeromexico is promising to help out, but you’ll still have to spend a little money, as they’re only offering discounts on standby flights.
This might not be the end of Mexicana just yet, as the new owners of the airline are still trying to get everything figured out. The airline did state that they hope to be up in the air again soon, but that really doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. However, a little bit of a timeout might be just what the airline needs to regroup and save some cash while they decide on their next step.
