Operations will cease by tomorrow per AP, NBC, Marketwatch and other sources.

Posted on their website (www.mexicana.com) as well... not good for OW

How sad.

ouch....that is sad. They upgraded Emralds and Saphires without any questions :) or any stickers :) as long as seat available.

MX was a nice Latin American addition to Oneworld besides LA. Do you think that there will be room for another player like AV or AR?

AA should use the opportunity to gain some US-Mexico market share.

I think AA will be fine sending everyone though LAX and DFW to getting to Mexico. Mexicana operates at all 3 Bay Area airports (SFO, OAK, SJC). I doubt AA will pick up on these routes.

AR? what are you, masochist ?

G3 (Gol Airlines) has teamed up with AA recently, and AFAIK they're in negotiations to join OW. It is a shame that they've lost most of Varig international routes after the takeover...

So sad.. sorry to hear this..

That's disappointing, no less for an airline that entered into OW less than a year ago.

I have one unused MX ticket with them from DFW to EZE with the first sector being an MX-coded-AA-operated flights. So much for the chances of using that.

No pain no game, right? :p Have you seen AR's new website and livery? Change is in the air.

GOL is nice but it does not have a vast international network.

By the way, a bit off topic but I was looking for fares SFO-GRU and when I tried the AM website it wouldn't allow me to continue and took me to a page to re-enter my destination but on the table there were only Mexican destinations. What's up with that? If I remember correctly MX had a similar thing happening.

wrong ! ;)

If I remember correctly, AR was part of OW many years ago. AA dropped them.

You do not remember correctly , AR were never part of OW , although , IIRC ( and I could be wrong ) they were briefly on the Global Explorer fare way back in the day when QF and AR codeshared on each others AKL-SYD-EZE services .

I flew them once and both the outbound and return flights were horrible, they only shamed OW...glad to see them go!
