Overview
- The Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil revoked Magnicharters' Certificado de Explotador de Servicios Aéreos on June 29 after finding the carrier's documentation insufficient to show it had fixed regulatory deficiencies.
- The case began with a Verificación Mayor Extraordinaria conducted January 12–16, and the AFAC ordered a preventive suspension of flights in mid-April when the airline did not demonstrate compliance.
- The revocation bars Magnicharters from offering commercial flights under that authorization and has produced hundreds of consumer complaints for unpaid tickets and unfinished tourist packages.
- Grupo Aéreo Monterrey, the carrier's controller, filed a voluntary concurso mercantil that was admitted to trámite and entered the visita stage on June 10 as the company faces reported fiscal liabilities and creditor claims.
- The AFAC says its decision rested on technical and legal grounds and can be challenged administratively or judicially, while passengers, travel agents and courts now face the task of sorting refunds, creditor claims and possible legal contests.
