[2] According to Mexico's Secretary of Communications and Transportation, as of September 2008, Aviacsa ranked as the seventh-largest Mexican airline in domestic and international flights, down from the third-largest at the end of 2007.

[3] In June and July 2009, the Mexican government repeatedly suspended Aviacsa's operations due to safety issues and unpaid fees.

By the end of the year, the airline received a second BAe 146 and initiated service from the two towns in Chiapas to Villahermosa, Mérida, Oaxaca, Chetumal, and Cancún.

On June 3, 2009, the Mexican government grounded 25 of Aviacsa's 26 aircraft, after officials said that the airline had maintenance irregularities.

Aviacsa officials accused the government of trying to put them out of business in response to pressure from other Mexican airlines.

Although Aviacsa was slated to resume operations, on May 4, 2011, it announced that ticket sales would not continue,[10] casting doubt on the airline's future.

[13] Aviacsa, since its launch in 1990, featured the stylized head of Pakal — emperor of the Mayan city-state of Palenque — as its corporate image.
