Mexicana halts flights, including from SJC

Mexicana Airlines, which declared bankruptcy earlier this month, announced Friday it will cease all operations by midday Saturday.

That includes one daily flight between Mineta San Jose International Airport and Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city, located in the state of Jalisco.

The airline had stopped four weekly flights between San Jose and the city of Morelia, in the state of Michoacan, earlier this month.

David Vossbrink, the airport's communications director, said Mexicana actually suspended its flight between San Jose and Guadalajara earlier this week. He said a local representative of the airline told airport officials Friday that flight would be suspended at least through Sept. 30.

Vossbrink said passengers who need to fly to Guadalajara still can do so on Volaris Airlines, a low-cost Mexican carrier that launched that flight April 30 business
