WestJet latest airline to retreat from Mexico City
WestJet will exit Mexico City in October, becoming the latest among several North American airlines to retrench from Mexico's capital city. The move comes just 7 month after WestJet entered the Mexico City market with routes from Calgary and Vancouver. "It's just not performing up to the standards that we would like to see," WestJet CFO Harry Taylor said of Mexico City. "We don't want to be cost-subsidising at this point." Taylor adds that despite retrenching, WestJet still sees long-term opportunity to serve Mexico City and could return. WestJet's move mirrors cuts by other airlines. Alaska Airlines will stop serving Mexico City Nov 7 when it operates it last flight from Los Angeles. <br/>
