Aviacsa was an airline from Mexico. It started flying in 1990. Aviacsa was known as a low-cost airline. This means it offered cheaper flights. Its main base was in Mexico City.
In 2009, the Mexican government stopped Aviacsa from flying. They were worried about the airline's safety. Aviacsa tried to fight this decision in court. Also, the FAA in the United States removed Aviacsa's flying permit. This happened until the safety problems in Mexico were fixed.
Aviacsa stopped flying in July 2009. A company called the Madero Group bought it in 2010. Aviacsa planned to start flying again in 2011. But it couldn't because it owed a lot of money to the Mexican Government. Aviacsa stopped all flights for good on May 4, 2011. Another airline, Interjet, later took over many of Aviacsa's old flight paths.
