History

Mexicargo was established in Mexico on August 18, 1991, by Marco Mediola. Although founded in the early 1990s, the airline began flight operations only in February 1996. Its first documented operating aircraft was a Boeing 727-225F, a freighter variant suited to regional and medium-haul cargo work. The carrier's business centered on freight transportation rather than passenger services. Its network linked Mexican cities with one another and with the United States. In 1997, the documented Mexican destinations were Guadalajara, Hermosillo, La Paz in Baja California Sur, Mexico City, and Tijuana. Internationally, Mexicargo served Miami and San Antonio. The combination of Mexican metropolitan, industrial, border, and regional destinations with American gateways indicates a business oriented toward Mexico–United States cargo flows. The historical fleet associated with Mexicargo consisted of three Boeing 727-225F aircraft, one Boeing 707-323C, one Boeing 707-347C, and one Douglas DC-9-15RC. These figures describe the recorded fleet rather than a confirmed simultaneous operating fleet. The Boeing 727 freighters were documented as part of the airline's operations, while the Boeing 707s and DC-9 represent additional aircraft linked to the carrier during its operating period. Publicly available information becomes limited after the late 1990s. The last two Boeing 707 aircraft were reportedly seen at Mexico City airport in 2000. The available account does not identify a definitive cessation date, explain whether the airline entered formal insolvency proceedings, or record a merger, sale, or replacement operator. Consequently, Mexicargo's present status remains uncertain, although there is no reliable evidence in the supplied material that it continues to operate as an active airline.
