Aviacsa Grounded

Shades of Aerocalifornia. It was reported today the Transportation and Communications Department has "temporarily' grounded the airline after officials reported finding irregularities in the maintenance of 25 planes. (The Aviacsa fleet consists of 26 737 aircraft.) The department says the problems put passengers at risk and gave the airline 60 days to fix the problems. Aviacsa denied any safety problems.

More or less fortunately for most nomads, Tijuana is the only destination in Baja served by Aviacsa.

Whew....glad they didn't ground the entire Aviacsa fleet.

I thought the same. But, if you go to their web site, ain't nothing going nowhere.;D

I believe this was fraudulent. They forgot or refused to pay somebody off. According to the CEO of Aviacsa their planes were maintainted in the USA inspected and approved by the FAA. Their planes are new unlike Aerocalifornia's fleet. It is quite obvious somebody wants to create a monopoly here in order to push up airfares within Mexico. Who could that be perhaps someone who is already used to being a monopolist and has made most of their fortune owning several? Volaris anyone? :mad:

Stages of Mexican corruption.

Denial

Anger

Depression

Acceptance

Bargaining



Pam, Judging from this and other posts you are stuck in stage two. You need to move forward toward acceptance and bargaining.

It smells of Carlos Slim.

I log on to Volaris often to check fares to La Paz. They were offering vouchers to Aviasca customers last week. "Look how nice we are."

When Aerocalifornia was grounded last year, Volaris picked up their routes in days. Nothing to see here folks, move along.....
