A year after Mexicana's exit, Aeromexico, Mexican LCCs and US carriers are main beneficiaries

One year after the suspension of services at Grupo Mexicana, which became the largest airline casualty since the onset of the global financial crisis, it appears the Mexican market has fully recovered. Mexico's remaining carriers have been able to quickly absorb Mexicana's approximately 27% of the domestic market. US carriers have so far been the largest beneficiaries of Mexicana's demise in the international market but Mexico's remaining carriers are eager to start narrowing the very wide gap with their foreign competitors.
