Mexicana Virtual was born in 1999 as the first Virtual Airline with approval from the actual corporate entity to which they virtually represent Mexicana, and the second virutal airline to actually exist in Latin America after "Sur Air". Having this real airline endorsement it offered an increased interest in the virtual pilot community through out the world. Starting operations with mainly Mexican members, increased the pilot roster with members from several nationalities. Initially operating with Boeing 727-200 Flight simulators, and later in 1999, increasing operations with Fokker 100, Airbus 320 and Boeing 757 executed in Microsoft Flight Simulator . See also Flight Simulator. Up to 2003, only Airbus A319, A320, Boeing 757 and 767 were used due to the management requirements for realism, and market offering professional simulators for this aircraft only. First CEO Dr. Juan Rico Galindo and a set of qualified staff, including aviation enthusiasts and real world airline pilots, started to create a legacy and example for the future-coming virtual airlines. By year 2000, management was passed to Cap. Luis R. Ballina, who started by enhancing the website image, promotion and online services to its users, increasing the pilot roster to above 300 active pilots.

Mexicana de Aviacion, granted a space in its internal corporate magazine "Fuerte y Claro" as a tribute to all efforts given by the virtual airline staff to self-sufficiently support the organization.

All operations were managed and ran throughout its former website www.mexicanavirtual.com, and in 2001, it was bought from another company, leaving Mexicana Virtual without its original URL, then utilizing www.mexicanav.com

In 2000, opened its Chicago Hub, due to demand from English-Speaking users, and started to document all operations in case the parent Mexicana de Aviacion real airline, required the information. Also by 2003 the website reached almost 4500 hits per month, and by February 2000, redirecting almost 25% of its traffic to the Mexicana's VTP (Travel Packages) web page, showing the airline's professional image to almost 12,000 users every 4 months.


By 2002, Mexicana Virtual started struggling due to the loss of website and webspace sponsorship, and due to several staff members, including CEO starting a real aviation career.

Starting 2007, new staff is being formed, and by the addition of Cap. Gabriel Bremont, to the current High Management, the virtual pilot roster is being recovered, to reopen operations by mid 2007.

Mexicana Virtual, was temporarily closed by early 2005, expecting its reopening by mid 2007 with a brand new operational staff, and directed by former CEO Luis Ballina. New ideas to improve personalization of service are being planned.
