United, Mexicana Air to end code-share agreement; Star Alliance may end Mexicana relationship
I don't know all the facts, but this seems like a bad move on Mexicana's
part. But maybe they have plans to join another alliance. -- http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/031107/airli...exicana_2.html UPDATE - United, Mexicana Air to end code-share agreement Friday November 7, 7:58 pm ET NEW YORK, Nov 7 (Reuters) - United Airlines, the No. 2 U.S. airline, on Friday said its seven-year code-share and regulatory cooperation agreement with Mexicana Airlines will end on March 31, 2004. Jean Medina, a United spokeswoman, said Mexicana decided not to renew the code-share "due to evolving business trends in the Mexican aviation industry." She said Mexicana's decision was unrelated to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings of UAL Corp., United's parent. Mexicana did not immediately return calls seeking comment. The Star Alliance, the world's largest air alliance by international scheduled revenue passenger miles, on Friday said it may end Mexicana's membership because of the terminated code-share. United, which is based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois and is a Star Alliance member, said it remains "fully committed" to the Mexican market. It said United customers currently ticketed on a Mexicana code-share flight beyond March 31, 2004 will be "fully accommodated" in their travel plans. All Mileage Plus award reservations on Mexicana must be booked and ticketed by Dec. 31, 2003, and award travel must be completed by March 31, 2004, United said. Mileage Plus accrual on Mexicana flights will also end on March 31, it said. United said it will continue to offer daily service to Mexico City from its hubs in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. -- http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/031107/airli...exicana_1.html Reuters Star Alliance may end Mexicana relationship NEW YORK, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The Star Alliance, the world's largest air alliance by international scheduled revenue passenger miles, on Friday said it may end the membership of Mexicana Airlines after that carrier terminated its code-share arrangement with United Airlines. Star said its members will discuss terminating Mexicana's membership at a Nov. 13 meeting in Frankfurt, Germany. Mexicana did not immediately return calls seeking comment. In a joint statement, the other alliance members said they "regret this development but do not see any other solution for the future of our business partnership." They said its membership will continue to serve Mexico and the international air travel market. A spokeswoman for United, a unit of UAL Corp., said Mexicana decided not to renew its seven-year code-share agreement with the No. 2 U.S. carrier "due to evolving business trends in the Mexican aviation industry."

United, Mexicana Air to end code-share agreement; Star Alliance may end Mexicana relationship
I had originally thought that by having Mexicana with the Star Alliance, and
Aeromexico in Skyteam, that the Mexican airline group was trying to get as much business as possible from most of the world's major quality airlines. Given that Mexicana has terminated its United code-share, and most likely will now be kicked out of the Star Alliance, would a likely scenario would be Mexicana joining oneworld instead? Although American has a strong Mexico and Latin American network, do you think oneworld could be behind this Mexicana move? --Max wrote in message news Perhaps they are thinking of joining the new Sky Team alliance?
