It operated into markets that were considered too thin to justify the use of larger aircraft. It was Mexicana's regional carrier, while MexicanaClick was a low-fare domestic airline competing against Interjet, Volaris, and VivaAerobus. MexicanaLink used to compete against Aeromar and Aeroméxico Connect.
Airline presentation to the media was on March 10th, 2009. The ceremony was conducted by Grupo Mexicana CEO, Mr. Manuel Borja. Also the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, joined the ceremony with a short speech.
