Then again, Click could be another way to just designated no-frills service without necessarily the low fare component. [/url]
Well, there is a good answer to your route structure question: Click's route structure is made of Mexicana's unprofitable routes. Mexicana never made money on all this routes, so the answer was to transfer them to QA (Aerovias Caribe S.A under the ClickMX brand), an airline with lower operating costs thanks to cheaper employees (pilots, flight attendants, ground personel, etc), cheaper lease payments on airplanes, etc. If you take a look at the map in
www.clickmx.com they don't sell all QA flights, since the most profitable ones are still sold by Mexicana under a codeshare agreement (MX 7000 series flights). For example, ClickMX airplanes fly MEX-CUN-MEX, CUN-HVN-CUN and they are only sold by Mexicana (offices and website) and travel agents. Prices are much higher of course!!!
