Why should this airline be added?
The first airline in Mexico, founded in 1921, and the fourth oldest airline operating under its own name, after KLM, Avianca & Qantas which makes it very historical and special. The loss of the airline was a blow to the Mexican aviation industry leaving Aeroméxico as a monopoly.

Adding this airline to the game would increase choice for players who want routes too and from Mexico, would add an historically significant airline to the game and would increase the colours and livery styles at playable airports. It could either be amalgamated with the new airline as they share the same ICAO or separated.

Added a horrendous amount of extra liveries and specials to the post but I’ve omitted these as it might end up well too long lol, (Loads of extra Fokker 100 liveries I didn’t know about when I earlier did this post too)

Talavera,

Mitla,

Tlapa,

Tehuayo,

Ichcatlan,

Yacatecutli,

Tenamaxtli,

Saltillo,

Ofc these were across the fleet including the Fokker 100s and 757s at the time. The rest of the fleet around till 2010 never wore these as they arrived much later though they did wear the one chosen Huichol livery in 1996.

757 (Which we really should have ) had some of the 10 variants with a shiny underbelly prior to retirement in 2007,

As well as ofc the grey belly variant,

The green tail from 1996 until around late 2005,
