Star Alliance to discuss termination of membership of Mexicana Airlines

The members of Star Alliance have today agreed to discuss a termination of the membership of Mexicana Airlines in the global alliance at the next regular Alliance Management Board meeting on November 13 in Frankfurt, Germany.

The decision follows the official announcement of the termination of the bilateral relationship between United Airlines and Mexicana Airlines earlier today.

In a joint statement, the members of the alliance stated "regret this development but do not see any other solution for the future of our business partnership. The combined strength of the Star Alliance membership will ensure that the international air travel market, and in particular Mexico, will remain well served by our team of high quality airlines."
