Between next November and February 2011 American Airlines will increased 20% flights in Mexico, to meet the demand left by the departure of Mexicana Airlines.


'We have worked very well with Mexicans authorities and airports; we found no obstacles with additional flights that will be coming on November 18th. We work on the need to meet that demand,' said to Notimex Mexico general director of the airline, Marvin Diaz.


The Director of Sales for American Airlines Mexico, Antonia Gutierrez, said that the company currently covers 14 Mexican cities to the United States and in February will add Queretaro and Veracruz.


She said that in November the company will increase the flights Mexico- Dallas, Mexico- Chicago, Mexico-Miami and also from Leon, Aguascalientes and Guadalajara.


This means, that American Airlines and American Eagle will operate at least 25 additional round trip flights, in November and December this year, and February 2011.


As for prices, Marvin said that there have been modest increases in rates in Mexico in proportion to the costs of the airline and not because Mexicana de Aviation exit the market.
