BUSINESS NEED

After moving to New Jersey/Newark Airport several years ago, Mexicana Airlines found itself with flights that departed and arrived late at night, a schedule which did not attract businesspeople and tourists. They also wanted a ticket-office location that was convenient to passengers from all over New York City.

SOLUTION

Mexicana returned to New York and to JFK in July, 2004. The airline now has a daily early evening flight schedule. In-transit passengers now have greater access to connecting flights and quick baggage transfers. Their customer base is now more varied and upscale, and includes more business people, students and tourists. Their midtown Manhattan sales office located adjacent to Grand Central Station is close to all major transit lines.
