Mexican airline Magnicharts suspends all flights

Mexican airline Magnicharters, based in Monterrey, abruptly suspended all its operations for two weeks, leaving affected passengers in Cancún, Mérida, and Huatulco. In a notice issued to its passengers, the airline cited logistical problems and stated that all its scheduled flights for the next two weeks could not take place. "Due to logistical problems, scheduled flights for the next two weeks will not be able to take place." According to reports from the authorities, the airline operates with only two aircraft as of February across five airports, and by the end of the first two-month period, it had a 5% drop in the number of travelers served. The firm, with over 30 years of service, was founded in 1994 and during that time has offered millions of passengers the best conditions of quality, comfort, and security, stating that it "deeply regrets this situation." The airline did not specify the number of passengers affected by the decision, nor how it would cover possible economic damages to its users. The company's fleet consists of 12 Boeing 737 aircraft linking Mexico City and Monterrey with tourist destinations such as Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco; Huatulco and Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca; Cancún and the Riviera Maya in Quintana Roo; as well as Mérida in Yucatán.

This you should know The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT), through the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC), announced that airlines and airport groups are working together on a plan to assist passengers in transit. "Travelers who are in the airports of Cancún, Mérida, and Huatulco and had a scheduled flight with Magnicharters can approach the counters of Aeroméxico, Viva Aerobus, and Volaris to be provided with the necessary support," added the authorities. By law, airlines that cancel their operations must provide an alternative option for their passengers to return or take their flights, as well as pay economic compensations due to the suspension of operations or, in its case, refund what was paid plus an indemnity to the passengers. Magnicharters, in controversy last year over labor issues, is one of the smallest airlines in Mexico, but it serves more than 200,000 passengers annually. "We communicate to our clients that we are facing this situation with due diligence to solve it," the airline stated. Did you have a flight with Magnicharters for these days?
