    MXA860 inbound to JFK 8/27

    Looks like there will be one final opportunity to catch a Mexicana flight at JFK. MX 860 is inbound from CUN. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/M...245Z/MMUN/KJFK The return to CUN, MXA 861 has been departing around 9 am according to flightaware, that is if the plane does depart. Such a shame for an airline with an 89 year history. Hope they will be able to fly again.

    Hmm. I was wondering why i didnt see any mexicana blue falcons today. Now I know. Also I guess you can use this as a confirm that they didnt fly. I didnt like the A/C but I did like their new falcon scheme. 89 years. Never knew that. Well glad I decided to pop in today.

    Wasn't Mexicana a relatively recent addition to JFK? I never saw any Blue Falcons in the 80's and 90's. When did they start service to JFK?

    Don't forget the 757's they used to bring to JFK< as well. Old reliable RR powered 757's.

    The falcon scheme was a very recent new paint they implemented. They started paint overs a few months before being accepted into OW

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    American is adding flights to MEX from DFW and MIA to make up for the lost Mexicana flights.
