Status at YYC?

[Tinosky]

Hey guys, have a quick question regarding the Mexicana A319 parked at AC maintenance (YYC).

Took this shot last night on my way to the terminal:


Sorry for the crappy phone shot.

Any ideas why they have been there for the last couple weeks?

thanks,

Tino~

hey man...same thing in Montreal . I saw an MX a320 on the AC apron.

Mexicana ceased all operations in late august and 2 a320s that were leased from AC were seized.

so there is one in YYC and another one in YUL..

[VicMackey]

a319 instead of a320s..

Actually AC had 6 A319's with MX and I believe one B767.
Other than the 1 A319 in YYC, there is one in YUL parked at the Maintenance base along A taxiway and and 2 or 3 in YYZ as well.

I don't know what AC plans to do : re-integrate to the fleet or re-lease them out.

No 767s were leased to MX, just the 319s.

What is going on with those aircraft in YYC and YUL? Is there any plan
for them, they have been sitting on the ground for a while now.
I imagine that some maintenance will have to be done before they're able to fly again.

[Gear Up]

There's probably a whole shyte load of maintenance to be done considering who's been flying them. And, I spoke to the owners and "the plan" is to get them flying again so they make some money....tha's the plan.

A319s Added ---two former Mexicana A319s which had been leased from Air Canada are being put back into Air Canada service in an all-economy 132 seat configuration. They are C-GSJB/FIN290, and C-GJVY /FIN292. They are expected to be used on Caribbean tourist routes primarily where there is very little demand for Business-Class seating.

Mexicana had until the end of December to restructure and re-emerge. Sounds like they will liquidate. Sad day for them. Shows you that even an airline that had been around for 89 years can go TangoUniform.
