Mexicana joins One World alliance

Mexicana's entry into One World adds significantly to the One World alliance's presence in Latin America, and adds another carrier for One World frequent flyer members to earn status on.

Mexicana's route network includes extensive domestic destinations, 15 airports in the USA, 5 in Canada, as well as flying to Cuba, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela in the Americas. Combined with Iberia and LAN (Chile), the One World alliance is clearly the lead in Latin America, making a forthcoming merger between BA and Iberia all the more lucrative in tapping these emerging markets.

Its two long haul destinations are Madrid and London Gatwick. It operates at a standard of service akin to US carriers, with long haul business class with reclining seats.
