Mexicana is proud to announce that, for third consecutive year, the airline has been certified as a clean industry by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The certification, which is valid until October 11, 2008, was granted on the grounds that Mexicana has fully complied with environmental legislation, after successfully implementing a plan of action drawn up as a result of the environmental audit conducted on the processes and facilities of the group's maintenance base, the largest and most prestigious of its kind in Latin America.

"Complying with Mexican and international regulations in all areas of the airline's operations is extremely important to our company, and we are very happy that our maintenance base has once again been certified," said Mexicana Customer Service and Corporate Communications Director Adolfo Crespo.

The Clean Industry Certification is grounded on Article 28 of regulations to the General Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection Law pertaining to environmental audits.

As a socially responsible company, this certification pays tribute to the airline's efforts to contribute to a cleaner Mexico.

Mexicana de Aviacion began its operations 86 years ago and is therefore the airline with the fourth longest tradition in the world. Currently, it is the airline with the most extensive international coverage from Mexico and the leading transportation company between Mexico and the United States.

From its operation hub in Mexico City International Airport, Mexicana flies to around 50 destinations in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Its code share agreements with leading international airlines represent a great benefit for its passengers with the accumulation and redemption of miles, access to its executive lounges, a range of connection possibilities and coordinated schedules with an extensive route network that covers a large portion of the world.

Having the most modern fleet in the world has allowed Mexicana to maintain one of the highest on-time performance levels, and enabled it to reach the highest utilization rate of its Airbus fleet, with an average daily operation of 12:52 hours.

Mexicana has the best maintenance base in Latin America. And for the second consecutive time its been recognized by the World Travel Awards 2006 as the best Business Class in Mexico and Latin America, in addition to receiving the award as the leading airline in the same region for nine consecutive years.
